Yellowstone National Park rangers successfully thwarted a potential mass shooting last Thursday when they shot and killed a gunman who was firing a semiautomatic rifle at the entrance of a dining facility. The incident took place at a location where approximately 200 people were present.
The lone shooter was identified as a 28-year-old man named Samson Lucas Bariah Fussner, hailing from Milton, Florida. Prior to the attack, Fussner had held a woman at gunpoint and disclosed his intentions to carry out a mass shooting. The woman reported that Fussner had threatened to kill her and others, including planning an attack during July 4 events outside the park.
