Four killed in Montana bar shooting that is US’s ninth mass murder of 2025

Manhunt for suspect who lived nextdoor to bar where shooting occurred on Friday morning at about 10.30am

Four people were killed on Friday in a shooting at a Montana bar, prompting a lockdown in a neighborhood several miles away as authorities searched a wooded area for a suspect in the case.

The shooting brought the number of mass murders so far this year in the US to nine, according to the Gun Violence Archive, a non-partisan resource which defines such cases as killings in which four or more victims are killed.
