The deceased suspect, who has not been identified, was making threats with a firearm at the park’s Canyon Village complex overnight Wednesday and into early Thursday when rangers were called to the scene, NPS said. 

Gunfire was exchanged between the suspect and the rangers, which ultimately led to the suspect being killed.

One Yellowstone law enforcement park ranger was injured. The ranger is in stable condition and being treated at a nearby regional hospital, NPS said.
