Michael Paul Brown, a military veteran, opened fire at The Owl Bar in Anaconda, Montana, killing four individuals. Following the incident, Brown fled the scene in a white pickup truck but abandoned it afterwards. Authorities released a photo of him, emphasizing that he is armed and extremely dangerous. Residents were advised to stay indoors and be vigilant. The identities of the victims will be disclosed once families are informed. The incident has shocked the close-knit community, which does not reflect such violence.
"While law enforcement has not received reports of Brown harming any other individuals, he is believed to be armed, and he is extremely dangerous," Johnson said.
"This is a small tight-knit community that has been harmed by the heinous actions of one individual who does not represent what this community or Montanans stand for," Johnson said.
"He knew everybody that was in that bar. I guarantee you that. He didn't have any running dispute with any of them. I just think he snapped," Gwerder said.
Brown lived next door to The Owl Bar... the bartender and three patrons were killed and didn't think anyone else was inside.
