Yellowstone Camper dies of Gunshot Wound

   Although no hunting or even fishing is allowed in Yellowstone National Park, legal gun carrying individuals are allowed to bring their weapons into the park.

   A teenage girl reportedly shot herself and died at a campground near Yellowstone Lake when emergency responders were not able to revive the girl.

   Only a handful of National Parks allow hunting or shooting of any kind. Yellowstone is a 2.2 million acres national park in parts of Wyoming, Montana and Idaho and attracts 3 million visitors a year, none of them allowed to kill animals.
