Ranger killed in Mount Rainier Nat'l Park shooting
By MIKE BAKER | AP – 54 mins ago
MOUNT RAINIER NATIONAL PARK, Washington (AP) — A Mount Rainier National
Park ranger was fatally shot Sunday following a routine traffic stop, and
authorities closed the 368-square-mile (953-square-kilometer) park in
Washington state as they searched for the gunman, a park spokeswoman said.
The slain ranger was identified as 34-year-old Margaret Anderson. She had
set up a vehicle as a roadblock on a park road just before the shooting,
which happened at about 11 a.m. near the Longmire Ranger Station in the
southwestern part of the park, Lee Taylor said.
Ed Troyer, a Pierce County Sheriff's spokesman, said his department received
a report around 11:30 a.m. of shots fired in the park and a ranger in need
of help.
When authorities arrived, Troyer said, they also encountered gunfire, but no
one else was hit. Authorities removed Anderson from the park and found that
she was dead, Troyer said.
Authorities believe the gunman is still in the woods with an assault rifle.
They are asking people to stay away from the park, and for those already
inside the park to leave. Authorities were stopping and questioning people
as they departed.
Troyer said his department has received reports of cars with bullet holes.
He did not have further details and said communication was limited because
there is no cellphone service in the park.
Park superintendent Randy King said that Anderson is a mother of two young
daughters who had served as a park ranger for about four years. King said
Anderson's husband also was working as a ranger elsewhere in the park at the
time of the shooting.
"It's just a huge tragedy — for the family, the park and the park service,"
he said.
The shooting occurred on an unseasonably sunny and mild New Year's Day. The
park, which offers miles (kilometers) of wooded trails and spectacular
vistas from which to see 14,410-foot (4,392-meter) Mount Rainier, draws
between 1.5 million and 2 million visitors each year.
The Longmire station served as headquarters when the national park was
established in 1899. Park headquarters have moved but the site still
contains a museum, a hotel, restaurant and gift shop, which are open year-
round.
The Washington State Patrol also was helping with the investigation. | s*******9
发帖数: 4458 | 2 All visitors evacuated from Rainier; gunman sought
By MIKE BAKER | AP – 25 mins ago
MOUNT RAINIER NATIONAL PARK, Wash. (AP) — About 125 people were evacuated
overnight from the visitors center at Mount Rainier National Park as
authorities searched the snowy terrain for an armed gunman suspected of
killing a park ranger.
About 150 officers converged on the mountain park after ranger Margaret
Anderson was shot to death Sunday morning, and searchers used an aircraft
with heat-sensing capabilities to hunt from the skies.
Authorities believe the gunman was still in the woods, with weapons.
Pierce County Sheriff's spokesman Ed Troyer said that Benjamin Colton Barnes
, a 24-year-old believed to have survivalist skills, was a "strong person of
interest" in the slaying.
"We do have a very hot and dangerous situation," Troyer said.
Teams were assessing new tactical plans that they planned to put into place
at daylight, he said.
Safety concerns prompted authorities to keep the tourists quarantined at a
visitors center as the manhunt unfolded. Early Monday morning, officers
escorted them out of the park in groups of vehicles over the span of a few
hours.
Crews had initially planned to keep everyone in a basement with guards. But
it was determined to be "better to do it (evacuate) under the cover of
darkness than daylight," Troyer said.
Evacuee Dinh Jackson, a mother from Olympia, who came to the mountain to
sled with family and friends, told The Associated Press that officials
ordered people to hurry into the lodge after the shooting.
Jackson said officials had everyone get on their knees and place hands
behind their heads as they went through the building, looking at faces to
make sure the gunman was not among them.
"That was scary for the kids," she said.
Michael Wall, an elementary school teacher from Puyallup, spent the morning
hiking with his son. They didn't find out about the violence until returning.
Wall said he was impressed by how staff members and visitors kept each other
comfortable with food and conversation.
"It was calm, cool, easygoing," Wall said. "I didn't notice any tenseness or
terseness."
A parks spokesman said Barnes was an Iraq war veteran, and the mother of his
child had alleged he suffered from post-traumatic stress following his
deployments.
Barnes was involved in a custody dispute in Tacoma in July, during which the
toddler's mother sought a temporary restraining order against him,
according to court documents. In an affidavit, the woman wrote that Barnes
was suicidal and possibly suffered from PTSD after deploying to Iraq from
2007 to 2008. She said he gets easily irritated, angry and depressed and
keeps an arsenal of weapons in his home.
Barnes was also a suspect in the early Sunday morning shooting of four
people at a house party south of Seattle, police said.
Sgt. Cindi West, King County Sheriff's spokeswoman, said late Sunday that
Barnes was connected to an early-morning shooting at a New Year's house
party in Skyway, south of Seattle that left four people injured, two
critically. That shooting happened about 3 a.m. and stemmed from an argument
over a gun.
West said three people fled the scene. Two were located, and West said
authorities were trying to find Barnes and had been in contact with his
family, trying to have them convince him to "come to the police and tell his
side of the story" in the Skyway shooting.
At Mount Rainier around 10:20 a.m. Sunday, the gunman had sped past a
checkpoint to make sure vehicles have tire chains, which are sometimes
necessary in snowy conditions, Bacher said. One ranger began following him
while Anderson, a 34-year-old mother of two young children who was married
to another Mount Rainier park ranger, eventually blocked the road to stop
the driver.
Before fleeing, the gunman fired shots at both Anderson and the ranger that
trailed him, but only Anderson was hit, Bacher said. Anderson would have
been armed, as she was one of the rangers tasked with law enforcement,
Bacher said. Troyer said she was shot before she had even exited the vehicle.
About 150 officers, including officials from the Washington State Patrol, U.
S. Forest Service and FBI, were on the mountain Sunday.
Tactical responders wearing crampons and snowshoes pursued what appeared to
be the gunman's tracks in the snow, Troyer said. Those tracks went into
creeks and other waterways, making it more difficult for crews to follow.
"He's intentionally trying to get out of the snow," Troyer said.
Authorities recovered his vehicle, which had weapons and body armor inside,
Troyer said.
A SWAT team was able to remove Anderson's body from the mountain late Sunday
night, with a procession of law enforcement vehicles escorting her remains
away.
The park would remain closed Monday, officials announced late Sunday.
Park superintendent Randy King said Anderson had served as a park ranger for
about four years. King said Anderson's husband also was working as a ranger
elsewhere in the park at the time of the shooting.
"It's just a huge tragedy — for the family, the park and the park service,"
he said.
Adam Norton, a neighbor of Anderson's in the small town of Eatonville, said
the ranger's family moved in about a year ago. He said they were not around
much, but when they were, Norton would see Anderson outside with her girls.
"They just seemed like the perfect family," he said.
The town of about 3,000 residents, which is a logging community overlooking
Mount Rainier, is very close knit, he said.
"It's really sad right now," Norton said. "We take care of each other."
It has been legal for people to take loaded firearms into Mount Rainier
since 2010, when a federal law went into effect that made possession of
firearms in national parks subject to state gun laws.
The shooting occurred on an unseasonably sunny and mild day. The park, which
offers miles of wooded trails and spectacular vistas from which to see 14,
410-foot Mount Rainier, draws between 1.5 million and 2 million visitors
each year.
The Longmire station served as headquarters when the national park was
established in 1899. Park headquarters have moved but the site still
contains a museum, a hotel, restaurant and gift shop, which are open year-
round.

Body may be person of interest in Mount Rainier shooting, police say
The CNN Wire
A male body has been found buried in the snow, Ed Troyer with the Pierce
County, Washington, Sheriff's office told CNN on Monday.
Troyer said that it's a strong probability that the body is the "person of
interest" that authorities have been looking for in the shooting death of a
Mount Rainier National Park ranger, but they have not confirmed it yet.
; It will be several hours before a positive identification is made,
Troyer said.
The discovery came after a manhunt in snow-covered and wooded terrain for
the man, whom authorities had sought for questioning in the fatal New Year's
Day shooting of park ranger Margaret Anderson.
The bloodshed began with what the spokesman called "a normal traffic stop"
around 10:30 a.m. PT (1:30 p.m. ET). But the suspect didn't heed a request
to pull over, prompting a ranger to radio ahead requesting assistance.
Anderson, 34, responded to that call and set up her patrol vehicle as a
roadblock.
"When he (the shooter) arrived at that spot, he got out (of his car) and
fatally shot her," said Taylor.
The suspect then ran into the spacious national park, whose border is about
50 miles southeast of Seattle. The park -- the centerpiece being the 14,410-
foot Mount Rainier, which is considered an active volcano -- comprises 235,
625 acres in the Cascade Range. | s****r
