Michael Paul Brown, 45, fled The Owl Bar in the small town of Anaconda in a white pickup truck but ditched it at some point, officials said.

The search for the suspect, identified as Michael Paul Brown, continued into the weekend. Authorities have warned that he is armed and dangerous.

Police have found the getaway car of a US military veteran who walked into a bar in the western state of Montana on Friday morning and fatally shot four people, but the gunman remains at large.
