Production Manager at Jacob's Pillow Is Killed in ‘Tragic Accident,' Center Says
A production manager who was helping to move platforms used for staging at Jacob's Pillow, a celebrated dance center in Becket, Mass., was killed after the load toppled on Friday afternoon, according to the center and the authorities. The person killed, identified by Jacob's Pillow as Kat Sirico, was rolling a dolly with the help of an intern to transport the platforms for theater staging across the property, the Berkshire District Attorney's Office said in a statement on Saturday. What happened was determined to be a workplace accident, according to the statement, and criminal charges were not expected to be filed. The two people moving the platforms lost control of the dolly they were using when they began rolling it down a slope, according to the district attorney's office. Sirico, who used the pronouns they/them, according to their LinkedIn profile and the center, tried to regain control of the dolly but tripped and fell, and the dolly ran Sirico over, the district attorney's office said. The platforms on the dolly fell onto Sirico, the statement further said. Bystanders attempted lifesaving measures and emergency medical workers and members of law enforcement also responded to the scene. In a statement on Saturday, the center called Sirico's death 'a tragic accident.' The Occupational Safety and Health Administration was investigating, according to the statement. Jacob's Pillow announced that all performances and events at the center were canceled from Friday through Sunday. Sirico was part of the alumni of Jacob's Pillow, the center said, and had been working since February as a production manager for the Dance Festival at the recently reopened Doris Duke Theater. Sirico had previously worked for the Dance Festival, including last year as an event production manager. They were also a production intern two decades ago and had been an independent contractor for Jacob's Pillow, a spokesman for the center said. Pamela Tatge, the executive and artistic director for Jacob's Pillow, said in the statement that Sirico was a 'hugely devoted leader on our team.' 'Their spirit, generosity, and dedication touched the lives of many,' Ms. Tatge added. Jacob's Pillow, which was founded in 1931, has an expansive campus of two indoor theaters, stages and studios across more than 200 acres in the picturesque Berkshire hills. According to its website, it receives more than 100,000 visitors each year and employs 53 full-time year-round staff members, 100 seasonal workers and 25 interns. The Dance Festival at Jacob's Pillow is the oldest in the United States. It runs from late June through late August. The festival was in week six when performances and events were canceled after Sirico's death, according to the Jacob's Pillow website. The center had recently recovered from the destruction of the Doris Duke Theater, which burned down in November 2020. The theater reopened last month.

Manhunt intensifies for Army veteran suspected of killing 4 in bar shooting after truck found abandoned
Law enforcement officials searching for an Army veteran accused of killing at least four people in Montana Friday morning have located the white Ford F-150 allegedly used by the man to flee, though he has not yet been located. The Anaconda-Deer Lodge County Law Enforcement Center identified the shooting suspect as 45-year-old Michael Paul Brown of Anaconda and said Friday he is believed to be armed and dangerous. Brown was last seen in the Stumptown area, which is west of Anaconda, the law enforcement center said. Authorities released a photo of Brown Saturday, showing him barefoot and shirtless walking down what appeared to be a flight of outdoor concrete steps. The newly released photo showed Brown wearing black shorts and fleeing after the shooting Friday, according to the state Department of Criminal Investigation (DCI). It is unclear what led to the shooting, which occurred at about 10 a.m. at The Owl Bar. DCI Administrator Lee Johnson said in a statement Friday evening that officials had located the white F-150 pickup truck in which Brown allegedly fled. However, Brown was not located in or around the vehicle. Fox News Digital has reached out to DCI for an update. Still, after discovering the vehicle, authorities focused their search on the mountains near Stumptown Road. SWAT also cleared Brown's house Friday, though he remained at large. Law enforcement officials have not received reports of Brown harming any other people, though he is believed to be armed and dangerous. Residents in the area have been encouraged to stay inside their homes and remain on high alert. With no sign of the Army veteran in the white pickup or his home, authorities converged on the Stumptown Road area west of Anaconda by ground and air Friday, locking it down so no one was allowed in or out. Authorities had lifted the lockdown by Saturday. DCI warned residents that if they see Brown not to approach him. Instead, residents are encouraged to call 911 immediately. He has been described as 5-foot-10 and about 170 pounds, with blue eyes and brown hair. While authorities have identified all four victims in Friday's shooting, names will not be released until all family members have been notified, and as DCI said, when "the time is appropriate." Brown was an armor crewman in the Army from January 2001 to May 2005 and served in the National Guard from April 2006 to March 2008, Army Public Affairs confirmed to Fox News Digital. He deployed to Iraq from February 2004 to March 2005 and left the service with the rank of sergeant. He also served as an armor crewman in the Montana National Guard from April 2006 to March 2009, officials said.
