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 Kelley, 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. The authorities offered a $7,500 reward for information leading to the suspect.
