US: Officials confirm 'no active threats' to public after law enforcement-involved shooting leaves suspect dead in Canyon Village, Wyo., July 4

Authorities have confirmed that there are "no active threats to the public" after a law enforcement-involved shooting left one person dead and a park ranger injured in Canyon Village, Wyoming, on the morning of July 4. The incident, which occurred within Yellowstone National Park, took place after rangers responded to a report of the abovementioned person carrying a firearm and making unspecified threats. After the rangers encountered the suspect, an exchange of gunfire reportedly occurred that presumably resulted in the death of the individual and the injury of the park ranger. Officials have closed the vicinity of the Canyon Lodge complex to facilitate an investigation into the incident.

Heightened security and transport disruptions will likely affect the Canyon Village area until authorities' investigative work is complete and law enforcement officers vacate the scene.
