I hope the wilderness gets him first. Any wolf packs in the area?

I'm hoping for the poetic justice ending to this story.

Someone with a concealed carry permit shooting this bastard dead in the woods and wolves eating him before they can retrieve the corpse.

died of hypothermia - too easy IMO but at least the gunman is dead

yes...dead is dead...What confuses me is if this is what he wanted from the start why did he need to take other people with him. Glad he is dead.

When I grew up we had a sniper kill some people from my community, including my neighbor. In the end he was cornered by state and local police in a cornfield where "he killed himself". Speculation to this day is they took him out...either way works for me. He's gone and thats all that matters.

Let this be a lesson to you TT lawbreakers about going into the backcountry overnight without a permit.

And predictably the MSM is blaming the firearms in national parks law:

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


So if that law wasn't on the books, then this tragedy wouldn't have happened. Brilliant.

Don't try to carry too many guns and not enough buy-bulls.

Hmmmm...I read they found him only clothed in a t-shirt, pants and one shoe (Probably lost his other shoe in the snow). And he apparently left all his "Survival gear" in this jeep.
