Park ranger stabbed in 'targeted attack,' officials say search for suspect underway
Colorado authorities are looking for a man who allegedly stabbed a ranger in a state park and fled the scene. The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office said the ranger was struck in the torso on Aug. 19 at Staunton State Park, located about 40 miles from Denver. Per CBS News, KDVR, and The Denver Post, the victim told emergency dispatch that he had an altercation with the attacker at about 9:30 a.m. Jefferson County Sheriff's Office public information officer Jacki Kelley told reporters there was "radio silence for quite a while" before the ranger called again to say he was stabbed and provided the description of the man. The ranger, who was struck in the torso, was transported via airlift and underwent surgery at a nearby hospital, the outlets reported. Authorities described the suspect as a 200-pound white man with brown hair in his 30s who was wearing a gray shirt and blue jeans. He reportedly ran into the woods of the national park.

A shelter-in-place was initially in effect in the area, but it was lifted by the evening on Aug. 19. "We have reason to believe this was a targeted attack and there is no ongoing threat to the community," the sheriff's office posted. Two people who were deemed "persons of interest" were cleared of any involvement, officials said. A notice on the Colorado Parks and Wildlife website says Staunton State Park is currently closed "due to law enforcement activity."

Attacker Stabs Colorado Park Ranger and Flees
An attacker stabbed a wildlife ranger at a Colorado state park outside Denver on Tuesday morning and ran away, setting off a manhunt and leading officials to evacuate the park, the authorities said. The ranger, who was working at Staunton State Park at the time, was airlifted to an area hospital with serious injuries, said Kara Van Hoose, a spokeswoman for Colorado Parks and Wildlife. The agency did not identify the ranger, who it said was expected to survive. It was not immediately clear what had led to the attack, which occurred around 9:30 a.m. and prompted the authorities to close the park. Investigators said that they were searching the area by ground and by air for the attacker, whom they described as a white man in his early 30s with brown hair, standing about six feet tall and weighing 200 pounds. He was wearing a gray shirt and blue jeans. 'Consider this person dangerous,' the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office said on social media. The ranger who was stabbed was unarmed and is a seasonal employee, according to Colorado Parks and Wildlife, which said that those types of rangers can write citations or tickets for violations of park rules but cannot make arrests. Staunton State Park, which is about 40 miles southwest of Denver, covers nearly 4,000 acres and includes 37 miles of trails. It has 25 campsites and 25 picnic sites. A visitors page for the park says that it offers 'diverse landscapes, ranging from grassy meadows at 8,100 feet to granite cliffs over 10,000 feet.'

Barrel Roll: Fleeing Ford Ranger Gets A High Speed PIT Maneuver
If you're thinking an old Ford Ranger sounds like a horrible vehicle to use in a police chase, you would be absolutely correct. After all, they're not exactly fast, their handling is anything but legendary, and let's face it, they're not the most durable thing on the road. But the suspect in this Georgia State Patrol dashcam video seems to take none of that into reason for the initial traffic stop was a simple one: the little truck was going 90 in a 70 mph zone. All this guy had to do was pull over and take the ticket. He didn't want to because there was far more going on. It wouldn't surprise us to learn the guy had his foot planted to the floor as the trooper has no problem keeping up. He accelerates slowly while faking taking an exit, but it's so obvious because the truck handles like it's on skis. At that point, even if you were clueless about how cars work, you'd realize the cop is keeping up no problem. And if you have a shred of intelligence, you would just pull over and give up. But this guy keeps pushing it as if by some miracle the Ranger will suddenly burst away. But that doesn't happen. Instead, the trooper gets into position and in no time does a PIT maneuver, sending the little truck into a high-speed barrel roll. This isn't the kind of vehicle we would want for a dangerous situation like that. To the shock of nobody, after this mess, the trooper suspected the driver had been drinking. When asked if that was true, out suspect reportedly said he had. It's almost like alcohol consumption often leads to poor choices.
