Residents of Anaconda, Montana, expressed their concerns about Michael Paul Brown, the alleged gunman behind a tragic mass shooting at a local bar. Two anonymous sources revealed that Brown’s erratic behavior and delusions had long been a cause for worry among locals. Despite attempts to get him mental health assistance, Brown reportedly declined the help he needed.
According to one source, Brown, a former Army member, would often share fantastical stories that raised red flags about his mental state. Another source mentioned that Brown’s decline began after the passing of his grandmother and his struggle with PTSD and schizophrenia.
Family members tried to intervene, but Brown reportedly refused the assistance offered to him. The community is in shock and remains on edge after the devastating incident that claimed the lives of four individuals from Anaconda. Brown is still at large and considered armed and dangerous by authorities. Peter Dabrosca, a former politics reporter at The Tennessee Star, has joined our team.
