The man accused of killing four people at a Montana bar on Friday morning lived next door, according to the Montana Department of Justice.
Authorities have identified the suspect. The suspect said he entered an Anaconda owl bar and fired fire as 45-year-old Michael Paul Brown. He remains overall and his search continues through the weekend.
“The search will focus on areas off Stomptown Road, both on the ground and in the air, and will include multiple local, state and federal agencies,” the Montana Department of Justice said Saturday morning.
The department also confirmed that the victims killed in the shooting were the bartender and three patrons. The officials are not publicly disclosed.
According to investigators at Montana Department of Justice Lee Johnson, Brown entered the bar at 10:30am and sparked a fire, killing four people.
At this point, the motivation for filming is still unknown.
Authorities said Brown was wearing a tied shirt, blue jeans and an orange bandana on Friday. However, a photo released Saturday by Montana Dozi shows him running away from the scene, apparently stripping him away by his boxers alone.
Authorities are urging Brown to call 911, according to the Anaconda-Deer Lodge County Law Enforcement Center. He is considered armed and dangerous.
