Rural Montana residents predicted bar massacre suspect's violent outburst: 'He will kill you'
ANACONDA, Mont. – ANACONDA, MT: Two residents of the rural Montana town that was rocked by an armed gunman's alleged mass shooting at a local bar said members of the town had long predicted that he would snap. Two men in Anaconda, Montana, who requested anonymity due to the sensitive nature of their comments and the prevailing sentiment in town, told Fox News Digital that Michael Paul Brown was a "loose cannon" whose delusions were well known to residents long before he allegedly murdered four people in cold blood at the Owl Bar last Friday. "I've been to a couple of barbecues with him and what not, and he's always been just kind of a loose cannon," one man said. "We always joked about it. About him, like going nuts and just shooting." "Like I got in a fight with him once and then someone was like, 'You better watch yourself, he might kill you,'" the man said. "So, he was just always kinda not there." The man explained that Brown, who grew up in Anaconda and was an armor crewman in the Army from January 2001 to May 2005 before serving in the National Guard from April 2006 to March 2008, would sometimes share fantastical stories that were well out of the realm of possibility. "He's just a storyteller, you know, just maverick stories," he said. "One of the stories that he told me is how he went and stole some artifact from some place, and then, like, killed a bunch of people and started a civil war." Both men claimed that while the narrative that Brown had been denied access to mental healthcare is popular among some locals and in the media, Brown actually declined the healthcare he may have needed. "This family tried to get him out, and he never accepted it, you know," the first man said, adding that even the owner of the Owl Bar that Brown frequented wanted to get him help. The second added that people "absolutely" tried to help Brown. "He denied service," that man said. "What I understand, there was a couple families that was trying to get him to get [help]." Clare Boyle is Brown's niece and an Anaconda resident. She told KXFL that Brown suffered from PTSD stemming from his time in the army, and from schizophrenia. "Mikee's decline started really heavily when my grandma passed," she told the outlet. "The trauma from losing his last parent broke Mikee." Brown's mom died in 2021. "The VA said he no longer qualified for assistance with obtaining prescriptions and help. The Montana State Hospital wouldn't take him in unless it was a court order," Boyle said. "The only way to obtain a court order was for Mikee to become a harm to himself or others. We warned them that a snap could happen and that he was not of sound mind, and we were still left with no answers and nowhere to turn." "My heart breaks for this town," she said. "There is no amount of apology or words that could ever describe how sorry I am and how I feel for these families, my own included." Boyle has not returned multiple comment requests from Fox News Digital this week. The men also dispelled a rumor that Brown had been denied service at the bar on Thursday, July 31, which some have posited as a motive for the shooting. They said that Brown had carried out the alleged killings with premeditation. "Like I said, he just decided to do that that day, like he didn't get kicked out of the bar or nothing. He just walked in there and shot them," the first man said. "That could have been anybody in there at the time." Meanwhile, the town of 9,000 people remains on edge. "It's a small-town community," the man said. "It hit pretty damn hard. That stuff don't happen out here. So that's got people freaked out about it." Brown is suspected of killing 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 of the victims were from Anaconda. Shortly after the massacre, police tracked down a white Ford F-150 associated with Brown but did not locate him. That truck was equipped with outdoor supplies and food. At the time of the manhunt, Brown was described by authorities as "armed and extremely dangerous."

What Those 'Speed Enforced By Aircraft' Signs Are Really For
At some point, you've probably seen one of those "Speed Enforced by Aircraft" signs along the road and wondered if you could ignore it. Some drivers view these signs as nothing more than roadside scarecrows, while others become paranoid and search the sky for any sign of an airplane or helicopter. So, is this a real thing? Are there officers in the sky waiting to write you a ticket? You may be surprised to learn that, like some of the stealthiest cop cars on the road, aircraft-based speed enforcement is definitely real. Here's how it works: One officer is in a helicopter or fixed-wing aircraft, and another is in a patrol car on the ground. The airborne officer measures a vehicle's speed, either by timing how long it takes for it to travel between two painted markings on the ground or by using technology like a Video Speed Measuring (VSM) device. The airborne officer notifies the ground officer when they've spotted a speeder, and the patrol car performs the traffic stop. If you choose to challenge the ticket in court, both officers must show up, as both of their names will be on the citation. So, yes, depending on where you are, there just might be a law enforcement officer in a small airplane or helicopter watching you on the highway and clocking your speed. In some locations, thousands of tickets per year are written this way. This isn't true everywhere, though, as some states have dramatically scaled back their air-based traffic enforcement efforts. Read more: These Are The Dumbest Car Crashes You've Ever Seen Where Are Speed Limits Enforced By Aircraft? Iowa pioneered this type of traffic enforcement when it established the Iowa State Patrol's Air Wing Unit in 1952 with just two pilots and two Piper Super Cub airplanes. It's still active today with five pilots and five airplanes — four Cessnas and an SR-22 CIRRUS. These "Speed Enforced by Aircraft" signs can be found in multiple states, most notably Ohio and Florida. In 2009, Ohio issued 18,000 tickets using airborne traffic enforcement, a five-year high at the time. By 2022, the state was so committed to this method that it upgraded its planes with GPS-enabled VSM systems and cameras, aiming to catch speeders exceeding 100 miles per hour. By September of the following year, the state had issued 2,832 tickets using this method. Florida law enforcement is more likely to patrol highways from the sky on holidays or in certain designated areas on a monthly basis. The state still manages to issue (by some estimates) 45,000 citations a year using aircraft-based enforcement, with 38,000 of those citations going to speeders. The state's 2025 budget even allocated $2.5 million for new law enforcement aircraft. Other states also conduct aircraft-based traffic enforcement, but not to the same extent as Florida. Washington state's air-based program, for example, issues a few thousand citations a year but, like Ohio, has upgraded to VSMs (incidentally, Ohio is among the 10 states that write the most speeding tickets). Pennsylvania has reduced its pilots from 10 to three but still fly patrols several times a week. What Are Your Chances Of Getting A Ticket From A Cop In The Sky? The likelihood of getting caught speeding by an airborne officer depends on where you're driving. If you see a "Speed Enforced by Aircraft" sign in a state like Florida, Ohio, or Washington that actively patrols its roads from the sky, then you may get caught. However, many states have scaled back these sky patrols or discontinued them altogether. California, for example, was another early pioneer of airborne traffic enforcement, experimenting with the practice back in the 1960s. At one point, the state even flew patrols daily. Nowadays, however, California traffic is only occasionally monitored from the sky when the aircraft is already in flight for other reasons. California Highway Patrol officer Daniel Hill told KQED in 2016 that only about 10 out of 1 million tickets a year are issued from the state's airborne patrols. Cost is the main factor that has caused many states to roll back the use of traffic-monitoring aircraft. Fuel alone can cost $150 per hour flown, and that's in addition to the officers' salaries. That's why states like Alabama, New York, and Virginia have mostly discontinued their airborne patrols, with New York even taking down its "Speed Enforced by Aircraft" signs. Your chances of getting caught speeding by an airborne cop in one of these states are pretty low, though of course, the easiest way to avoid getting a ticket is to drive the speed limit.

Paul Hollywood appeals for help after his brother Lee was assaulted in a 'nasty' attack while walking his dog
Great British Bake Off star Paul Hollywood has asked for help from the public after his brother was pushed to the ground and beaten by a dog walker. The TV host, 59, shared news of the attack on Instagram after Wirral Police issued a public appeal for witnesses to come forward. While the police bulletin did not name the victim, Paul wrote in the caption that the man who was attacked was his brother Lee. The police appeal stated: "We are appealing for witnesses after a man was assaulted in Leasowe last night, Friday 8 August. "The man, who is in his 50s, was walking his dog on Links View Playing fields, near to Shackleton Road, at around 7.10pm when his dog and another dog, which was being walked by an another male, began barking at each other. "The dogs were separated by the other male who then became irate. As the man walked away he was approached from behind and punched to the floor by the male. He was then kicked in the face and back before the male made off. "The man suffered injuries to his back and face and was taken to hospital for treatment. "An investigation is underway and witness and CCTV enquiries are in the process of being carried out." Detective Inspector Phil Ryan added: ''This was a nasty and unprovoked assault which left the man needing hospital treatment. ''We are appealing for anyone who was in the area of Links View Playing fields or Shackleton Road at around 7pm [on Friday] who heard or saw the incident or saw the male leaving the area to contact us." Anyone with information can contact Merseyside Police via X or online, or dial 101, quoting reference 25000654914. Lee Hollywood is a professional baker like his brother and founded his bread company Born & Bread in Moreton, Merseyside, in 2002. The business supplied hundreds of artisan loaves, baguettes and pastries to hotels, restaurants, delicatessens and football clubs. In an interview in 2016, Lee Hollywood said that he worked 13-shifts to make the business work. He quipped: "I'm the grafter of the family, Paul's too busy with Bake-Off. The last time he made a proper loaf was about ten years ago!" Sadly, the business went into administration in 2020 and Lee Hollywood's recent ventures are not known.
