The suspect accused of fatally shooting four people at a Montana bar and who remains at large struggled with mental health issues, but was denied services from agencies that were supposed to help, according to his niece.

The mental health of suspected Montana gunman Michael Paul Brown, 45, declined significantly following the death of his mother, relatives said.

As the search for Michael Paul Brown continued, Montana Gov. Greg Gianforte signed an executive order freeing up more resources for local law enforcement.
