| 1251832 | 2012-01-03 02:04:00 | Mount Rainier National Park Ranger Shooting MOUNT RAINIER NATIONAL PARK, Washington (USA) – Authorities have confirmed Monday afternoon that a body found on the slopes of Mount Rainier National Park was that of an Iraq War veteran suspected in the slaying of a park ranger. Barnes is believed to have fled to the remote park to hide after an earlier shooting at a New Year's house party near Seattle that wounded four, two critically. Authorities suspect he shot ranger Margaret Anderson later Sunday. The shooting renewed debate about a federal law that made it legal for people to take loaded weapons into Mount Rainier. The 2010 law made possession of firearms in national parks subject to state gun laws. Bill Wade, the outgoing chair of the Coalition of National Park Service Retirees, said Congress should be regretting its decision to allow loaded weapons in national parks. He called Sunday's fatal shooting a tragedy that could have been prevented. He hopes Congress will reconsider the law that took effect in early 2010, but doubts that will happen in today's political climate.

He had automatic weapons, not semi-automatic weapons. That in and of itself is both a Federal and State law violation. |

Currently here (Tuesday, 5.38pm) the TV news has just told me they are searching for the (dead) guy... who'se already been confirmed dead via news reports you've already forwarded. Gotta wonder how well they vet their articles prior to going on air. |

I'm a bit late with this but I must have seen the same newscast as Paul.Cov ("Prime - First at 5:50"?) and I'm really starting (a lot of you would say "belatedly") to question the profundity (www.thefreedictionary.com) of our news reporting. After all, if Rupert Murdoch and his wife are arguing on Twitter, what hope is there? |

That's why I subscribe to NYT news, much greater diversity and depth in most of their topics, and more recency for tech topics. |

PSTD been around awhile probaly since men started fighting each other. About 1962 my Dad took me with him down the Mot valley to do some work for a relly. When I asked why the man was deaf, shaking and looking all over the place, Dad told me he was shell shocked in France in WW1. But after the war he married, built up a beautiful farm and garden but didnt use PSTD as an excuse to go shoot other people up. The Yanks who go kill people in Iraq and Afghanistan were all volunteers so they know what they let themselves in for. Case of reaping what you sow. |
