Montana Manhunt: Search Intensifies for Bar Shooting Suspect

The U.S. Marshals Service has announced a reward of $7,500 for tips leading to the capture of Michael Brown, accused of fatally shooting four people in a Montana bar. The announcement came as state Attorney General Austin Knudsen provided a public update on the third day of the expansive manhunt.

Michael Brown, 45, reportedly entered the Owl Bar and opened fire, killing the bartender and three patrons before fleeing. Law enforcement recovered a stolen pickup truck, used for escape, two hours later. The search focuses on mountains near Anaconda, involving 250 officers and aircraft.

A recent photo showed Brown disheveled but possibly armed. Authorities urge caution, believing the suspect may be equipped with camping gear. "This is a dangerous individual," Knudsen emphasized, noting the possibility Brown could be found dead or alive.
