Flathead County Sheriff Brian Heino tells MTN deputies were called to the area of 8900 U.S. Highway 2 East in Hungry Horse shortly after 8:45 p.m. for reports of a man firing a gun outside of a store.

Law enforcement also received reports that the man — identified as 28-year-old Adrian Gengler — had shot at a person and had fled the scene on foot.
