After a scary situation in Yellowstone National Park was successfully contained, investigators have identified the shooter.
On the morning of July 4, 2024, a grave incident unfolded at Yellowstone National Park, resulting in the death of an armed individual and the injury of a law enforcement ranger. The encounter took place near Canyon Village, a central area of the park, altering the day's festive atmosphere into one of alarm and urgency.
Yellowstone law enforcement, responding to the woman's report, later found Fussner’s vehicle abandoned in the Canyon area. Assessing the threat as severe, they mobilized over 20 rangers, including members of the park’s special response team, to safeguard visitors and staff while they searched for the suspect.
Emergency medical care was promptly provided to both the injured ranger and Fussner; however, Fussner succumbed to his injuries at the scene. The injured ranger was later transported to a nearby hospital and is reported to have been released in stable condition. Fortunately, there were no other physical injuries among those present.
