The man suspected of killing a ranger at Mount Rainier National Park in Washington State is believed to have been found dead, according to police.

Authorities located a body face-down in the snow without any identification, but believe it to be Benjamin Colton Barnes, 24, the sole suspect in Sunday's shooting, according to a Twitter posting from Washington State Patrol spokesman Guy Gill.

Barnes was being tracked by ground and aerial search crews for the shooting death of 34-year-old ranger Margaret Anderson, who tried to block his path when Barnes sped past a checkpoint in the park Sunday morning. Barnes fired shots at Anderson and another ranger before fleeing into the park's wilderness. The other ranger was not injured.

“Stand by for gun bans because of this fool.”

Only in the demented minds of Democraps - most of America is thinking something very different.

With any luck, more Democraps will come out for gun grabbing laws and will therefore voted out of office.

As tragic as this is,(I spent ten years working in various parks). The AP article was bizarre. I lost count the number of times the word ASSAULT was used in the article.

As liberal as Washington State is, this will have no affect on our gun laws.
