It is too bad it all ended this way for a man who served our country.
Could more have been done to help him? Thereby all of this tragedy including the loss of life of the Park Ranger, mother of two, Margaret Anderson could have been possibly avoided?
Police: Body found at Wash. park is that of gunman
By Mike Baker - Associated PressMOUNT RAINIER NATIONAL PARK, Wash. (AP) — An armed Iraq War veteran suspected of killing a Mount Rainier National Park ranger managed to evade snowshoe-wearing SWAT teams and dogs on his trail for nearly a day. He couldn't, however, escape the cold.
A plane searching the remote wilderness for Benjamin Colton Barnes, 24, on Monday discovered his body lying partially submerged in an icy, snowy mountain creek with snow banks standing several feet high on each side.
"He was wearing T-shirt, a pair of jeans and one tennis shoe. That was it," Pierce County Sheriff's spokesman Ed Troyer said.
