Authorities have released the names of the four individuals who lost their lives in a shooting incident when an Army veteran allegedly opened fire at The Owl Bar in Anaconda, Montana, on Friday morning.

Around 10:30 a.m. on Friday, it is reported that 45-year-old Michael Brown fired shots inside The Owl Bar, resulting in the deaths of 59-year-old Daniel Edwin Baillie, 64-year-old Nancy Lauretta Kelley, 70-year-old David Allen Leach, and 74-year-old Tony Wayne Palm, all from Anaconda.

Brown remains at large as search efforts continue in the Stumptown area, just west of Anaconda, where the suspect was last seen.

Authorities released a photo of Brown on Saturday, showing him barefoot and shirtless, walking down a flight of steps.

Residents in the area have been encouraged to stay inside their homes and remain on high alert.

According to Army Public Affairs, Brown served as an armor crewman in the Army from January 2001 to May 2005 and was a member of the National Guard from April 2006 to March 2008. He was deployed to Iraq between February 2004 and March 2005, leaving the military with the rank of sergeant.

He also served as an armor crewman in the Montana National Guard from April 2006 to March 2009, officials said.
