He was found by police in a creek north of the parking lot, holding a knife.

The rangers say that Barr instead grabbed a regular shotgun and shot Ross, who was standing at the bottom of an embankment with his hands at his side. Police initially stated that Ross was shot after he attempted to harm himself, but rangers disputed this. Barr was arrested for aggravated assault by a public servant on July 28.
