BWCAW Terrorist Spree

Another man from Ely, Minnesota pleaded guilty to helping terrorize campers during a shooting spree in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness.

The man pleaded guilty to felony aiding and abetting in connection with the incident on Basswood Lake, in which BWCAW campers reported being harassed by men who fired guns and yelled threats from boats.

The incident seemed to be triggered by lingering resentment of the environmental activism that led to creation of the BWCAW.
