ANACONDA, Mont. (AP) — Four people are dead in a shooting at a Montana bar as a search continues for the suspect, authorities say. The suspect is believed to still be armed, the Montana Highway Patrol said in a statement.

A shooting at a Montana bar left four dead Friday, prompting a lockdown in a neighborhood several miles away as authorities searched for the suspect.
