Missoula, MT, October 28, 2026 —
Friends and family of the four people killed in a shooting at the Owl Bar say they intend to attend court proceedings for Michael Paul Brown, who is charged with four counts of deliberate homicide.
Brown has been found unfit to stand trial and is appearing from a state hospital, according to the information provided. The case is awaiting an independent psychological evaluation, and supporters have described the legal process as slow.
Those close to the four victims are committed to attending each hearing until justice is served. The summary does not identify the supporters, provide statements from them, or specify when the next hearing is scheduled.
Details about the shooting—including when and where it occurred beyond its connection to the Owl Bar—were not provided. The victims’ names, the court’s location, and the date of Brown’s unfitness determination were also not included. The information provided does not state who ordered the independent evaluation or when it is expected to be completed.
For now, the available account describes a case in which Brown faces four homicide counts, has been found unfit to stand trial, and is appearing from a state hospital while an independent psychological evaluation remains pending. Friends and family say they plan to continue attending proceedings. No further details about the case’s schedule or the evaluation’s findings were provided.
