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. | P*******e

Benjamin Colton Barnes, a 24-year-old believed to have military experience
and survivalist skills, was a "strong person of interest" in the slaying of
Margaret Anderson. Authorities recovered Barnes' vehicle, which had weapons
and body armor inside, Troyer said.
