Blake Hempstead, a local sports reporter in the area, posted on X, "Anaconda is in a mini lock down while police search for a gunman who shot numerous people at the Owl Bar. Don't leave your house or come this way until this cowardly POS is found by our law enforcement officers."

A shooting at a Montana bar left four people dead Friday, prompting a lockdown in a neighborhood several miles away as authorities searched for the suspect in a wooded, mountainous area. The shooting happened around 10:30 a.

Authorities urged residents to stay inside and on high alert because they consider Michael Paul Brown armed and dangerous.
