Authorities have identified the four victims fatally shot in a rural Montana bar as the manhunt for the suspected gunman, a former U.S. Army soldier, stretched into a third day.
The suspect, 45-year-old Michael Paul Brown, is accused of killing four people after opening fire at The Owl Bar on Aug. 1. The bar is located in the small town of Anaconda, Montana, about 105 miles southeast of Missoula.
On Aug. 3, Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen identified the victims as Nancy Lauretta Kelley, a 64-year-old bartender, and three bar patrons: Daniel Edwin Baillie, 59; David Allen Leach, 70, and Tony Wayne Palm, 74. All four were residents of Anaconda.
In a news conference, Knudsen said Brown remains at large after fleeing the scene. The state attorney general added that Brown used a rifle in the shooting, which investigators believe was his personal weapon.
Knudsen warned residents that the suspect could return to the area, reiterating that Brown is believed to be armed and dangerous.
