News reaching our platform says that a manhunt has started for a former United States soldier suspected of carrying out a shooting in a bar in the US state of Montana, which has left four people dead.
However, the shooting happened on Friday at about 10:30am (16:30 GMT) at The Owl Bar in Anaconda, with four people pronounced dead at the scene, according to the Montana Division of Criminal Investigation.
The suspect has been identified as 45-year-old military veteran Michael Paul Brown. Brown lived next door to the bar, according to public records and owner David Gwerder.

Gwerder, who was not there at the time of the incident, said a bartender and three patrons were killed before Brown fled the scene.
“He knew everybody that was in that bar. I guarantee you that,” Gwerder said. “He didn’t have any running dispute with any of them. I just think he snapped.”
Furthermore, Brown’s home in Anaconda—a town of about 9,000 people, located in southwest Montana about 109 miles (175 km) west of the city of Bozeman—was cleared by a SWAT team.
Montana Senator Steve Daines said a “massive manhunt” is under way, aided by drones.
He should not be approached if seen, the Anaconda-Deer Lodge County Law Enforcement Center said in a social media post, while Anaconda residents have been instructed to stay home and lock their doors.
In conclusion, authorities said Brown was last seen in the Stump Town area, just west of Anaconda, and he is “believed to be armed and dangerous.”
