Iraq War Veteran Suspected in Park Ranger Killing Found Dead After Massive Manhunt 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The body of an Iraq War veteran suspected of killing a park ranger in
Mount Rainier National Park was found in chest-deep snow Monday.
Authorities believe Benjamin Colton Barnes fled to the remote area
following a shooting that left four people wounded near Seattle and a
separate shooting that resulted in the death of park ranger Margaret
Anderson. The shootings led to a massive manhunt. Barnes is believed to
have suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder and suicidal thoughts.
