4 dead in mass shooting at bar as manhunt underway for gunman

A mass shooting Friday morning at a Montana bar has left four people dead, and a manhunt is underway for the shooter, authorities said.

Gunfire broke out around 10:30 a.m. Friday at The Owl Bar in Anaconda, Montana, the Montana Division of Criminal Investigation said in a news release.

Anaconda-Deer Lodge County law enforcement wrote in a Facebook post that they know the shooter's name and that the gunman is considered armed and dangerous.

Montana Gov. Greg Gianforte wrote on X that he is “closely monitoring the situation involving an active shooter in Anaconda.”

Rep. Ryan Zinke (R-MT) urged people to “stay inside and lock their doors.”
