Victims identified in Montana bar shooting as authorities search for suspect
Authorities have identified the four victims fatally shot in a rural Montana bar as the manhunt for the suspected gunman, a former U.S. Army soldier, stretched into a third day. The suspect, 45-year-old Michael Paul Brown, is accused of killing four people after opening fire at The Owl Bar on Aug. 1. The bar is located in the small town of Anaconda, Montana, about 105 miles southeast of Missoula. On Aug. 3, Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen identified the victims as Nancy Lauretta Kelley, a 64-year-old bartender, and three bar patrons: Daniel Edwin Baillie, 59; David Allen Leach, 70, and Tony Wayne Palm, 74. All four were residents of Anaconda. In a news conference, Knudsen said Brown remains at large after fleeing the scene. The state attorney general added that Brown used a rifle in the shooting, which investigators believe was his personal weapon. Knudsen warned residents that the suspect could return to the area, reiterating that Brown is believed to be armed and dangerous. "This is an unstable individual who walked in and murdered four people in cold blood for no reason whatsoever. So there absolutely is concern for the public," Knudsen said. "We believe this is an armed and extremely dangerous individual. I'm going to ask the public to be vigilant." Devil's Den case: Details emerge in hiker deaths; school teacher charged with capital murder What happened in The Owl Bar shooting? At around 10:30 a.m. on Aug. 1, the suspect walked into The Owl Bar and opened fire, killing four people, authorities said. He then fled the scene in a white truck. Surveillance footage showed the suspect leaving the bar following the incident, according to the Montana Division of Criminal Investigation. Residents in the area were notified and told to stay inside their homes, said Lee Johnson, administrator of the state Division of Criminal Investigation. The Granite County Sheriff's Office said Brown's house, located next door to the bar, had been cleared by SWAT as they warned people to avoid the area. Law enforcement later found the truck, Johnson said. In a video update on Aug. 2, Bill Sather, police chief for the city and Anaconda-Deer Lodge County, urged residents to be cautious and contact authorities if they see anything suspicious. 'It's OK to go about your business in town, but please use caution,' he said. A motive for the shooting remains under investigation, but Knudsen noted that Brown was "known" to local law enforcement and investigators believe he knew at least some of the victims. "It sounds like he was a regular at this establishment. He literally lived next door," the state attorney general said. "It's likely he knew the bartender and these patrons, which makes this even more heinous." Who is Michael Paul Brown? Brown served as an Army armor crewman from January 2001 to May 2005, which included a deployment to Iraq from February 2004 to March 2005, Army Maj. Dustin Ramos said in a statement to USA TODAY. He served in the Montana National Guard from April 2006 to March 2009. Brown was described as 5 feet, 10 inches tall, weighing about 170 pounds, and has blue eyes and brown hair, according to authorities. Knudsen said investigators learned that the suspect had access to firearms. On Aug. 2, the Montana Department of Justice released an image from surveillance footage showing the suspect fleeing from the scene while shirtless, wearing dark shorts and barefoot. During the Aug. 3 news conference, Knudsen said he believes that the image was captured "relatively soon after the crime was committed." After the shooting, Knudsen said the suspect went to another location and got rid of some personal belongings, including his clothes. Investigators believe that Brown has abandoned the vehicle he fled in and stolen another vehicle, according to the state attorney general. The last time that law enforcement saw the suspect was on the afternoon of Aug. 1, Knudsen said. He added that there was 'some confusion' in their pursuit that day because there were two white vehicles involved. "The vehicle he ended up grabbing was loaded full (of) equipment. It was not his vehicle. It was a stolen vehicle, but there was camping equipment in it. We believe there was some clothing in it," Knudsen said. "At this point, we have every reason to believe the suspect is fully clothed, shoes on his feet, able to get around." Travis Decker search: Idaho manhunt for fugitive called off after false report Search for Montana shooting suspect continues Multiple law enforcement agencies, including local police, U.S. Marshals Service, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation are involved in the investigation. Authorities have urged the public to contact the U.S. Marshals Service to provide any information on Brown. A $7,500 reward is being offered for information that leads to the suspect's arrest. More than 250 personnel were on the ground assisting in the search for Brown on Aug. 2, Knudsen said. Following the shooting, authorities initially said they were focusing their search in a mountainous area near Stumptown Road in Anaconda. On Aug. 2, the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest issued a special closure order to "ensure public health and safety during the ongoing law enforcement investigation and search efforts." The order is in effect through Aug. 17. "The closure area includes National Forest System lands southeast of Georgetown Lake and south of Highway 1 in the East Fork of Twin Lakes Creek, east past Barker Lakes to Garrity Wildlife Management Area, and the Mount Haggin area," the national forest said in a statement.

Maryland mom whose kids went missing in 2014 is re-indicted on murder charges
A Maryland woman whose young children went missing in 2014 — leading to murder charges against her that were later dismissed — has been indicted again in their deaths, Montgomery County prosecutors and Hoggle's attorney said Sunday. Catherine Hoggle, 38, remains held in the Montgomery County Correctional Facility charged with two counts of murder after being arrested on Friday. She is scheduled to appear in court Monday, according to the Montgomery County State's Attorney's Office. The new charges are the latest turn in twisting case marked by the disappearances of a 2-year-old and 3-year-old; Hoggle's longtime battle with mental illness; and the conclusion reached long ago by police and prosecutors that the children would never be found alive because Hoggle allegedly killed them. Hoggle's attorney, David Felsen, said Sunday that he will seek her release and seek to have the charges dismissed. Over the course of the case, Hoggle was held beyond the five-year limit that someone in her condition can be detained without facing trial. Felsen said there is nothing about the new indictment that should change the five-year cutoff. 'We believe that she cannot be held, given she was already held under a finding of incompetency to stand trial for eight years,' Felsen said. When the case began 11 years ago, three people were reported missing — the two children and Hoggle. But after several days, on Sept. 12, 2014, Hoggle was found walking by herself down a street in Germantown. She was arrested and at first held on child neglect and obstruction charges. Hoggle was determined to be mentally incompetent to stand trial and transferred to a maximum-security state psychiatric hospital. She was indicted in 2017 on two counts of murder and continued to stay at the Clifton T. Perkins Hospital in Howard County. In 2022, Montgomery County Circuit Judge James Bonifant, citing the five-year law, ordered the charges dropped. But as he did so, Bonifant ordered Hoggle to remain in a psychiatric hospital under Maryland's civil commitment procedures. 'She has been diagnosed with schizophrenia, major depressive disorder and general anxiety disorder,' Bonifant said at the time. 'She suffers from chronic symptoms of impaired judgment, poor insight, paranoia and disorganized thinking. Without the structure and stability of a hospital setting, she would be a danger to herself or others.' Hoggle was released from Perkins on July 23, according to the Montgomery State's Attorney's Office. She was arrested on Friday in Maryland's Kent County, the office said. It is not clear exactly where Hoggle was staying in Kent County. But Felsen said that while there, she was still receiving medical care and was being supervised under her civil commitment order. The children's father, Troy Turner, who spent years organizing searches for the children, Jacob and Sarah, also has said he believes Hoggle killed them. Prosecutors have suggested in court filings that Hoggle, whose IQ was once tested as above average at 135, had exaggerated the extent of her mental illness to avoid facing a jury. And the county's top prosecutor, John McCarthy, vowed in 2022 that Hoggle would be recharged if she were ever released from a hospital. 'As long as I'm state's attorney,' McCarthy said, 'if she is ever deemed safe enough to be released, and gets out, I will recharge her with two counts of first-degree murder.' Bonifant in 2022 spoke about the fundamental fairness of not putting people on trial who can't adequately speak with their attorneys to help defend themselves. He cited legal principles going back to 1790, when a court held that 'no man shall be called upon to make his defense at a time when his mind is in that situation as not to appear capable of doing so.' Felsen has long said his client's thinking was far too delusional and tangential to discuss legal proceedings or participate in a trial.

Sha'Carri Richardson's rough week ends with stunning 200-meter miss at US track and field championships
A rough week for American sprinter Sha'Carri Richardson ended with a narrow miss of the 200-meter final on Sunday at the United States track and field championships in Eugene, Oregon. Just a week ago, Richardson was arrested on a charge of fourth-degree domestic violence for allegedly assaulting her boyfriend, fellow sprinter Christian Coleman, at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. Richardson was booked into South Correctional Entity (SCORE) in Des Moines, Washington, for more than 18 hours instead of doing what she needed to prepare for the biggest week in track and field across the country. She went on to compete in the 100-meter opening round, but later withdrew from the event. But while Richardson has an automatic bid in the world championships next month in Tokyo, Japan, as the defending champion of the race, she didn't have the same luxury in the 200. Richardson ended fourth in her heat after running the 200-meter sprint in 22.56 seconds. The top two finishers of each heat advance as well as the next three fastest times. Madison Whyte just barely beat out Richardson after running 22.55 seconds in the same heat. Richardson, who won bronze in this event at the 2023 world championships, was running her first 200 meters this season. As for the alleged domestic violence incident, Richardson is being accused of grabbing Coleman's backpack, yanking on it and shoving him into a wall, which was all apparently caught on video surveillance. Richardson appeared to throw something at Coleman, which TSA indicated may have been headphones, according to The Associated Press. "I was told Coleman did not want participate any further in the investigation and declined to be a victim," an officer wrote in their police report. This is Richardson's second known public airport incident after she was previously kicked off a plane in January 2023 after a dispute with a flight attendant who she said spoke to her in a disrespectful manner. The 25-year-old also made global headlines after testing positive for cannabis before the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, where she accepted a one-month suspension by the United States Anti-Doping Agency, making her ineligible to run in the 100-meter race. She wasn't selected to the 4x100-meter relay team either, which delayed her Olympic debut until this past year in Paris. Richardson won the 100-meter race in Budapest at the 2023 world championships, but she finished with silver in the event in Paris. She did, however, win gold as part of the 4x100 relay team.
