A suspect is on the run after four people were killed in a shooting at a bar in the US state of Montana, authorities say.

The Montana Division of Criminal Investigation confirmed to the BBC's US partner CBS, that the shooting happened at The Owl Bar in Anaconda at around 10:30 local time.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) said it was "responding to a shooting where multiple parties have been shot at a business in Anaconda".

Anaconda is a town of almost 10,000 people in southwestern Montana, 109 miles (175km) west of Bozeman.

The Anaconda-Deer Lodge County Law Enforcement Center named the suspect as Michael Paul Brown in a social media post, adding he is "believed to be armed and dangerous".

Montana Governor Greg Gianforte said he was monitoring the response to the incident.
