Montana Manhunt Day 5: Shooter Suspect Likely Armed, 'Extremely' Dangerous
ANACONDA, MONTANA, AUG 4 – Authorities continue a multi-agency manhunt for a former Army sergeant after he killed four people at a Montana bar, with a $10,000 reward offered for information leading to his capture.
- A gunman entered The Owl Bar on Aug. 1 and allegedly opened fire, killing four residents, officials said.
- Motivations behind the shooting remain unclear as residents said Brown struggled with mental illness after service in the U.S. Army, including deployment to Iraq.
- Amid expanding search efforts, authorities say more than 250 law enforcement officers are involved, and Knudsen said “They’re dealing with extremely rugged terrain.”
- As of Aug. 4, the U.S. Marshals Service offered a $7,500 reward and residents were asked to stay inside their homes after the shooting.
- On Tuesday, Montana Governor Greg Gianforte signed an executive order freeing up more resources for law enforcement, and he urged the public: `Rest assured, our brave men and women of law enforcement aren't giving up, and I ask that you not give up on them either`.
