At Rest

Deadly force
About 6:30 p.m., police dispatch received a report of a person throwing flaming objects from a car window on I-90. Multiple brush fires were reported along I-90 in the area. After a Columbus police officer, Stillwater County deputy, and a Montana Highway Patrol trooper found the suspected other traveling westbound on I-90, the driver sped up beyond the speed limit but eventually stopped near mile marker 403. During the stop, the driver reportedly refused to cooperate, and the trooper shot and killed him with a shotgun.
