Where is Travis Decker? Coeur d'Alene shooting of 2 firefighters pulls back focus on missing killer dad

Two fire personnel were fatally shot, and several others injured while attending to a brush fire in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. According to Kootenai County Sheriff Robert Norris, at least one active shooter armed with high-powered rifles remains at large, continuing to fire upon law enforcement officers. The situation is ongoing, presenting a grave danger to emergency responders and the local community.

‘Where is Travis Decker?’ some residents in Idaho have asked, while others wondered ‘Is this Travis Decker?’. Travis Decker is a former soldier, who has been missing for almost a month. Decker is accused of killing his three minor daughters.

The fire may have been intentionally set to draw first responders to the scene, one responding Kootenai County Fire firefighter noted, according to CNN report. 

“We don’t know if there’s one, two, three or four,” shooters, Norris said, with officers reporting bullets coming from multiple directions. “We will neutralize this threat.”

The blaze, which began as a half-acre, remains active as police work to stop the “rapid fire” shooting.

It is unknown how many people were injured in the shooting, and hikers and residents are still “stuck” on the mountain, officials said.

Fatal Shooting At Idaho Pulls Back Focus on Killer Dad Travis Decker

Travis Decker, the father of 5-year-old Olivia, 8-year-old Evelyn and 9-year-old Paityn, is charged with murdering his daughters by suffocating them with plastic bags near a makeshift campsite not long after he picked them up from their mother.

What was supposed to be a three-hour joint custody visit on May 30 morphed into the discovery of a horrifying crime scene and frustrating manhunt that has now stretched for nearly a month.

Travis Decker “frequently engaged in hiking, camping, survival skill practice, hunting and even lived off the grid in the backwoods for approximately 2.5 months on one occasion,” a deputy US Marshal said in a court affidavit.

From his time serving in the military – including a tour in Afghanistan – Travis Decker had “training in navigation, woodland/mountainous terrain, long distance movements, survival and numerous other disciplines needed to be able to flee from the Eastern District of Washington,” the affidavit added.
