Definitely interested in knowing more about this as details emerge. Also, it's Chantry Flat, not Flats, and there is no actual campground at Chantry. There are two campgrounds within hiking distance from there, several miles each, and many people use Chantry as the starting point for such outings. But no camping at Chantry itself. Definitely worth knowing whether the shooting occurred at Chantry, which is a very busy area, especially on the weekends, or at one of the more remote Campgrounds.
