Law enforcement sources confirm Roley was taken into custody after a tense standoff that lasted several hours. According to Boise County Sheriff’s Office, the suspect was found in possession of a high-powered rifle and appeared to have been camping near the area for several days. Authorities are still working to determine a motive but have not ruled out ideologically driven violence.
What has fueled public interest further is the alleged political background of the suspect’s family. Online records and social media activity indicate that Roley’s parents are vocal supporters of far-right ideologies and are reportedly involved in several pro-MAGA (Make America Great Again) forums. While investigators have not officially commented on any political
connections influencing the shooting, sources familiar with the case told local media that extremist rhetoric may have played a role in Roley’s worldview.The two victims, whose names have not yet been released pending family notification, were described as dedicated and selfless public servants who had volunteered in numerous emergency situations throughout the state.
Tributes have poured in from across Idaho, with Governor Brad Little calling the shooting “an unthinkable tragedy” and promising full support for a thorough investigation Roley is currently being held without bond and faces two counts of first-degree murder. Federal agencies, including the FBI and ATF, have joined the investigation to determine whether the shootings were part of a broader extremist threat.
