DENVER (KDVR) Air and ground searches are underway as authorities are looking for a male suspect after a park ranger was stabbed at Staunton State Park.

The suspect is described as a white man in his early 30s with brown hair and no facial hair. He is 6 feet tall, 200 pounds and was wearing a grey shirt with no printing on it and blue jeans. The sheriff’s office said he is considered “dangerous.”
