Victims Named in Montana Bar Shooting as Manhunt Widens
As the hunt for an Army veteran suspected of fatally shooting four people in a rural Montana bar stretched into a third day on Sunday, the authorities released the names of the people who were killed. Officials identified the victims as Nancy Lauretta Kelly, 64, a bartender, and three bar patrons: Daniel Edwin Baillie, 59; David Allen Leach, 70, and Tony Wayne Palm, 74. The shooting took place Friday morning in the Owl Bar in the small town of Anaconda, about 20 miles northwest of Butte. The authorities said the suspect, Michael P. Brown, 45, fled to the nearby foothills after opening fire inside the bar. He used a rifle, Austin Knudsen, the Montana attorney general, said at a news conference on Sunday. 'At this point, our suspect is still at large,' Mr. Knudsen said. Mr. Brown's last contact with law enforcement was around noon local time on Friday, he added. State officials said that they had widened their search to areas that include National Forest System land southwest of Anaconda. Forest officials had already closed those areas to the public because of the manhunt. The authorities have told Anaconda residents to use caution but to go about their lives. The dense brush and mountainous topography around the town could complicate search efforts. Local, state and federal agents have been looking for the suspect on foot as well as by automobile and helicopter. The shooting rattled residents, forcing businesses to close and people to stay locked in on Friday. By Saturday, the town had begun to return to normal. At least one prayer vigil for the victims was planned for the community on Sunday evening. In tight-knit Anaconda, many residents knew the suspect, whom they described as a regular at the Owl and other bars. Several people said they knew he was troubled because he told paranoid and often elaborate theories about political leaders and world events, but they had not seen him be violent before. The suspect lived on the same street as the Owl Bar, a neighborhood tavern, and Mr. Knudsen said it was likely that he knew the victims, though he did not elaborate on what might have led to the shooting. Relatives of the suspect said he had a long history of mental illness. While the authorities were searching for him, they released a photograph of Mr. Brown taken from security-camera video. It showed him as a gaunt man, shirtless and in dark shorts, walking down a flight of stairs. Mr. Knudsen said on Sunday that the photo was taken shortly after the shooting, after the suspect had disposed of his clothes. He then stole a vehicle that had gear in it, including clothing and camping equipment, Mr. Knudsen said. Sonia A. Rao contributed reporting from New York. Susan C. Beachy contributed research.

2 men charged after being linked to a suspect in the killings of 4 relatives of an abandoned infant
TIPTONVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Authorities searching for a man wanted in the murders of the parents, grandmother and uncle of an infant found alive in Tennessee have charged two other men in connection with the killings. The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation charged Tanaka Brown, 29, and Giovonte Thomas, 29, with accessory after the fact to first-degree murder. Investigators allege both men 'assisted' 28-year-old Austin Robert Drummond in the murders. Authorities have left many questions unanswered, including how the men allegedly helped Drummond, the manner in which the relatives were killed and how the baby ended up in a car seat in the Tigrett area, roughly 40 miles (64.37 kilometers) from the bodies. Law enforcement officers were still searching for Drummond. 'He should be considered armed and dangerous,' the bureau said in a Saturday news release announcing charges against Thomas. Brown, who also faces one count of tampering with evidence, was arrested a day earlier. Thomas was in custody at the Madison County Jail on an unrelated charge and would be transferred to the Lake County Jail to be arraigned on the new charges, authorities said. A listed phone number for Thomas could not be located Sunday. Brown was booked into Lake County Jail, according to authorities. A listed number for Brown could not be located Sunday. Email messages seeking comment were sent to Brown on Sunday. On Friday, authorities said they found the car they believe Drummond was driving. It was located in Jackson, Tennessee, about 70 miles from where the bodies were discovered and some 40 miles from where the baby was left. Tennessee Bureau of Investigation Director David Rausch said authorities believe it was a targeted attack by Drummond, who had a relationship with the family. The baby is safe and being cared for, authorities have said. Authorities obtained warrants for Drummond charging him with four counts of first-degree murder, one count of aggravated kidnapping and weapons offenses. His criminal history includes prison time for robbing a convenience store and threatening to go after jurors. He was also charged with attempted murder while behind bars. No listed for number for Drummond could be found. An attorney who represented him as a teenager has not returned messages from The Associated Press. Authorities have identified the four people found dead in Tiptonville as James M. Wilson, 21; Adrianna Williams, 20; Cortney Rose, 38; and Braydon Williams, 15. Wilson and Adrianna Williams were the infant's parents, and Rose was Adrianna and Braydon Williams' mother.
