A shocking bar shooting in Anaconda, Montana, left four people dead last week, and military veteran Michael Paul Brown has been arrested in connection with the attack. Authorities say he entered the Owl Bar—where he was a regular—and opened fire, fleeing the scene shortly after. Brown, who served in the Army from 2001 to 2005 and was deployed to Iraq, had shed his clothing and ran to the nearby hills. Law enforcement agencies launched a manhunt, which culminated in his arrest following extensive searches. The victims have been named as 64-year-old barmaid Nancy Lauretta Kelley and three patrons: Daniel Edwin Baillie, 59, David Allen Leach, 70, and Tony Wayne Palm, 74. The motive behind this tragic incident remains unclear, with the bar owner stating, “He just snapped.” The case has left the community in shock, as they come to grips with the violence that unfolded in a familiar gathering place.
