Authorities in western Montana have intensified their search for Michael Paul Brown, a 45-year-old Army veteran suspected in a mass shooting at the Owl Bar in Anaconda. The reward for information leading to his capture has been increased to $10,000. Brown is accused of killing four people, including a bartender and three patrons. He was known to frequent the bar and lived nearby. Investigators believe Brown remains in the Anaconda area and have advised residents to remain vigilant, noting his background as an outdoorsman. The community continues to gather at a growing memorial outside the bar to honor the victims.

Reward increased to $10,000 for information in Montana manhunt

There is an intense manhunt in western Montana for the suspected gunman in a mass shooting at a bar in Anaconda last week. Authorities say they've increased the reward to $10,000 for any information on the 45-year-old Army veteran Michael Paul Brown. CBS's Omar Villafranca is in Montana and joins me now with the latest. Good evening, Omar. There's a growing memorial outside of the Owl Bar as people show up to pay their final respects. Hundreds of officers are searching by land and air for 45-year-old Michael Paul Brown. Now, we want to show you the last picture that investigators released of Brown. He looks thin with a beard and wearing just black shorts. Now, police say he walked into the Owl Bar on Friday morning. They say that's when he started shooting. He killed four people, bartender Nancy Loretta Kelly and three patrons, Daniel Edwin Bailey, David Allen Leach and Tony Wayne Palm. The attorney general said Brown lived near the bar and was actually a frequent patron of the bar. He was a member of the Army and the Montana National Guard as well. And the residents are also telling us that he did have a history of maybe mental illness, saying things like he was John Wick or that he was the president's right-hand man. Now, investigators believe that he is still in the Anaconda area. And they said since he was a frequent outdoorsman, they're telling residents to stay on high alert. It's pretty disturbing there, Omar. Thank you.

The Prime Minister's Office said to the Chief of Staff, Lieutenant General Eyal Zamir that, "If this does not suit him, you should resign."
