Stymied by treacherous terrain and untamed wilderness, authorities are struggling to find an Army veteran suspected of killing four people at a Montana bar. But the difficult landscape isn’t the only challenge.

Four people were killed in a shooting at a bar in Anaconda, Montana, on Friday, authorities said. A suspect is at large.

Four people are dead after a shooter opened fire at Anaconda’s Owl Bar at approximately 10:30 a.m. on Aug. 1, 2025, according to a press release from the Montana Department of Justice.
