A suspected gunman was killed in a horror shootout at Yellowstone National Park as families prepared to celebrate the Fourth of July holiday at the landmark.
A Yellowstone National Park ranger was also shot in the episode but is in stable condition, and officials said there is no further threat to the public.
The shooting took place in the park's Canyon Village, which remains locked down as the FBI leads an investigation into the incident.
It came as rangers responded to reports of a person making threats with a firearm, which began hours before on Wednesday night.
Rangers began to contact the person, who has not been named, which quickly turned into an exchange of gunfire, reports Cowboy State Daily.
Officials confirmed that the gunman was killed in the shootout, but declined to release their identity 'at this time.'
The ranger who was shot in the episode was raced to a nearby hospital, where they are reported as being in stable condition.
Park Superintendent Cam Sholly said in a reported email to staff that 'numerous' other rangers were also involved in the shootout, but no others were harmed.
Sholly added in the email: 'This team did an amazing job today as you'll learn when more details come out.'
Witnesses took to social media as the chaos began, saying they were told to hide in their hotel rooms during the active shooter situation.

So sick of that “joke”. No wonder blacks won’t leave the ‘Rat plantation when they see conservatives saying things like that.
Quit lying. Just stop!!! Just tell us the gunman is dead and no other details will be released. You will NEVER detail how the shootout occurred so some other maniac can learn from it and do better the next time. That is ALWAYS the case. What galls me is that you lie about it.
We're still awaiting the details on the Mandalay Bay casino shooting.
...but declined to release their identity ‘at this time’.
I had to this time, this happened at Yellowstone.
Even Ranger (Smith) was harmed.
Why are the feds involved?
Duh...NATTIONAL Park...already Federal jurisdiction.
NATIONAL parks are strictly fed.
We know it was a ‘gunman’ and ‘they’ died. We know a ranger was injured and ‘they’ are in stable condition. Pronoun police are in charge of the Daily Mail.
As opposed to a wonderful shootout?
.
Perhaps they want to find/notify next of kin before releasing the name publicly.
No, you’re not the only one.
I've heard of people being shot in the fracas, this is the first time I've heard about someone being shot in the episode.
Yep I thought Newsome got wacked in Yellowstone.
Perhaps.
Or, perhaps they could have stated it was an illegal invader or simply identified if the perp was a male or female or a member of a certain cult.
Make no mistake, if it was a white heterosexual male, that information would have been reported.
Never forget, these are leftwing racist communists “reporting the news”...or just omitting the news.
..... Yup ...... That's exactly what I thought to LOL ...

At first glance, I read “Newsom.”
