Manhunt for Montana bar shooter who killed 4 is state's highest priority, governor says

As the search for Michael Paul Brown stretched into its fifth day, Montana Gov. Greg Gianforte signed an executive order freeing up more resources for local law enforcement to aid the manhunt for the former U.S. soldier suspected of killing four people at a bar. More than three dozen law enforcement agencies are helping with the search effort in a mountainous area near Anaconda, where the deadly shooting occurred last week. Montana's top officials described it during a news conference as the highest priority in the state. A team with the Montana National Guard has flown nearly 20 hours since last Friday, looking for any clues for Brown's whereabouts as an undisclosed number of officers searched on foot. "Rest assured, our brave men and women of law enforcement aren't giving up, and I ask that you not give up on them either," Gianforte said. Authorities say Brown, 45, fatally shot four people at The Owl Bar in the small town of Anaconda with a rifle that police believe was his personal weapon. He fled in a white pickup that he later ditched and stole another white vehicle stocked with clothes, shoes and camping supplies. A female bartender and three male patrons were killed. They have been identified as Nancy Lauretta Kelley, 64; Daniel Edwin Baillie, 59; David Allen Leach, 70; and Tony Wayne Palm, 74. The shooting rattled the tight-knit town of about 9,000 people, and many residents remain on high alert with the suspect still at large. Cassandra Dutra, a former bartender at The Owl Bar, told CBS News that she remembers Brown would say things she thought were strange, like he thought the CIA was coming for him. She likened the bar to the hit TV show "Cheers" where everyone knows each other's name and drink order. Over the weekend, authorities released a photo of Brown, said to be taken as he fled after the shooting. He was barefoot and wearing nothing but black shorts, and he was seen walking down what appeared to be a flight of outdoor concrete steps. Investigators said Brown fled in a white pickup, which he ditched at some point. They also said they believe Brown abandoned that vehicle and stole a different one that had camping gear, shoes and clothes in it. Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen reiterated Tuesday that authorities are operating under the assumption that Brown is armed and extremely dangerous. Without providing more details, Knudsen said there's evidence that authorities are searching in the right area. About 22 square miles of forest southwest of Anaconda have been closed to the public by the National Forest System as the search continues. Knudsen added that it does not appear that Brown has broken into any cabins or homes in the area to get food or additional supplies. Knudsen and investigators declined to share the number of law enforcement personnel active in the search Tuesday. Canine detection units and drones equipped with heat-detection technology were also being used in the search, they said. "It's important that you know that we are doing everything we can to keep Anacondans safe," Anaconda Deer Lodge County Chief of Police Bill Sather said Monday in a brief update. "If there is a need to convey a security risk, other than has already been said, we will make sure that you know." Federal authorities were offering a reward of up to $10,000 for any information leading to Brown's capture. Family members have said Brown has struggled with mental illness for years, and they had sought help for him. Kristian Kelley, the daughter of one of the victims, told CBS News she knows who Brown is, but her mother "had never mentioned him." "He was somebody that needed some serious resources. He had some mental health issues as well as PTSD from being in the military," Kelley said. "I've never known him to be violent. He was a person who would tell pretty strange stories and different things like that." Brown, who lived next door to The Owl Bar, served in the Army as an armor crewman from 2001 to 2005 and deployed to Iraq from early 2004 until March 2005. He also was in the Montana National Guard from 2006 to Arden contributed to this report.

Fact check: Claims around Britannia hotel in Canary Wharf

Social media users have claimed variously that asylum seekers are working as delivery drivers while living in the Britannia International Hotel in Canary Wharf, London, that the police have provided an escort to a 'migrant' delivery driver at the same hotel and that police banned protests at the site for 28 days. Evaluation These claims differ from what the police have said about the events. The police say that people filmed leaving the hotel on mopeds were hotel staff, while the escort was provided to a delivery driver who was delivering to the hotel. Police also said that the ban on protest applies only to a specific group of people and if others want to protest at the hotel lawfully they are allowed. The facts Protests took place outside the Britannia hotel on Sunday amid reports that asylum seekers are set to be housed at the site. Delivery drivers The video of the delivery driver being escorted by police matches images on Google Street View from the site, another video of the event has been shared on social media and the police commented on the video – all of which confirm that the event was indeed filmed at the location in Canary Wharf. The police statement said that the driver was not a resident at the hotel and that there's no evidence they were an illegal worker. 'This person was delivering to the hotel, they were not being accommodated there. There is no evidence to suggest they were working illegally,' the Met Police said. 'They were were surrounded and intimidated by those gathered outside and officers intervened to make sure they got away safely.' A screenshot from another video which showed two people on mopeds trying to leave the hotel matches Street View images from the scene. In response to that the police said: 'The two people leaving were members of staff working at the hotel who were, as with the incident this afternoon, subjected to unacceptable harassment by those waiting outside.' Protesters Videos were circulated online showing police ordering people to leave the area. However, in a statement the Metropolitan Police said that this was for a group which remained 'who were harassing occupants of the hotel and staff'. 'Their actions went well beyond protest to harassment and we used powers under the Criminal Justice and Police Act 2001 to order that specific group to leave and not return for 28 days. 'If a different group wishes to protest in the vicinity of the hotel they are not banned from doing so, providing they do so lawfully.'
