They started the fire to lure in first responders

Don't know, but that's what I heard from an unofficial source but they live in that city and it is also a hiking area so it's not private property. probably just a fucking nut job

It definitely wasn’t the type of people throwing bricks at police in LA recently… the party of “defund the police” strikes again

Because they are evil and deranged

Murdering first responders after luring them in is unbelievably evil

Sheriff said that this was a called in as a grass fire and that they are already on heightened alert for grass fires this time of year. I’m guessing this is going to turn out to be a domestic violence incident. Someone who knew who would respond and how to get them to respond. Could be wrong.

This is convoluted speculation. I would want to see the social media if the shooter. Maybe the shooter's significant other left them for a firefighter? Jealousy is a motivator.
