State investigators report four people are dead after a shooting at an Anaconda bar.
The Montana Division of Criminal Investigation is leading the investigation into the shooting at The Owl Bar that took place around 10:30 a.m. Friday.
Anaconda-Deer Lodge County law enforcement identified the suspect as 45-year-old Michael Paul Brown. He was still at-large as of 10:05 p.m. Friday evening, according to investigators.
Law enforcement put the city of Anaconda under lockdown as officials pursue Brown. People should avoid the area.
