The suspect being hunted for the murder of Ranger Anderson is still at large this morning inside Mount Rainier National Park. National Park Rangers, Local Sheriff deputies along with Washington State Police, National Forrest, and FBI SWAT have sealed off the area and continue the man hunt. Barnes is believed to be on foot in the woods armed with an “assault rifle” authorities have said trackers have tracked him into a stream area where he was attempting to make his way out of the snow covered area in attempts to throw the pursuers off. Additionally an aircraft with a heat seeking camera has been brought into the hunt to help scan the area and narrow the search. Obviously this is a difficult situation giving the rugged terrain they are working in as well as the suspect has some military / survival skills training and apparently no problems with shooting others. In addition to the murder of Ranger Anderson Barnes is being sought in another shooting where four people were shot in a house during a New Years Party.

Will continue to follow this story and hopefully authorities will bring this manhunt to a successful and safe end soon.
