Authorities identified 20-year-old Wess Roley as the sniper who ambushed firefighters Sunday in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, killing two and injuring a third. Roley allegedly set a wildfire on Canfield Mountain to lure responders before opening fire with a high-powered rifle. Chilling 911 audio captured a pinned-down firefighter pleading for help. Listen to it here. (Warning: distressing) Roley’s body was later found near the scene with a firearm; officials say it’s unclear whether he died by suicide or police fire. His grandfather said Roley had aspired to be a firefighter, though court records show a troubled family history. Investigators continue to search for a motive as Idaho mourns its fallen responders. | Fed Chair Under Fire for False Claims Fed Chair Jerome Powell is facing perjury accusations from lawmakers who say he misled Congress last week about the Federal Reserve's $2.5 billion headquarters renovation. Powell denied the project included lavish features like marble, rooftop gardens, or VIP dining rooms, but 2021 planning documents say otherwise, listing private elevators and vegetated terraces for pollinators. Senators Tim Scott and Cynthia Lummis called his testimony misleading and embarrassing, with some demanding Senate censure. The renovation project, which began in 2021, is ongoing and expected to be completed in several years. | Netflix Teams With NASA for Live Space Content Netflix announced Monday that it’s partnering with NASA to livestream space programming starting this summer, expanding access to the agency’s NASA+ content.
