Montana Good Samaritans Shot Dead




[From article]
The Park County Wyoming Sheriff's Office confirmed the suspect was taken into custody without incident around 12:30 p.m. Wednesday more than 150 miles away from the scene in Meeteetse, Wyo.
He was driving a silver 2006 Pontiac G6, which family members of the Shanes said belonged to the victims.
The suspect was first spotted by a Park County Sheriff’s Deputy driving southbound on Highway 120 at 11:49 a.m.
Because the suspect was considered armed and dangerous at the time, the deputy did not conduct a stop, and waited for backup from a trooper with the Wyoming Highway Patrol.
After following the suspect for 12 miles, he was stopped and taken into custody along County Road 3LE, which is commonly referred to as the Burlington cut across.

With assistance from the Big Horn County Sheriff's Office and the Montana Highway Patrol at the crime scene, the investigation will be lead by the FBI and Bureau of Indian Affairs.

However, locals argue a bigger law enforcement presence is needed along the Pryor Gap Road as it serves as drug corridor between Montana and Wyoming.

The FBI confirmed that two people were killed and a third injured by gunfire in Pryor, a town of just over 600 people in southern Montana. A suspect was arrested hours later in Wyoming, FBI spokesman Todd Palmer said. Palmer could not say what led to the shooting and did not release details about the victims or gunman.
Bryce Hugs, of Pryor, told The Billings Gazette that his aunt, Tana Shane, drove by a man who had run out of gas just south of town. Shane picked up her husband, Jason, and daughter, Jora, and returned to help, Hugs said.
"(He) killed both of them and then shot the daughter," Hugs told the newspaper. "It grazed her in the head, and when she took off, (he) shot her in the back."

A man named Jesus Deniz was apprehended near Meeteetse, Wyoming, and was being held in "investigatory custody for another agency" in the Park County Detention Center, according to the Gazette.
Park County sheriff's spokesman Lance Mathess said his agency has been instructed by the FBI and Bureau of Indian Affairs not to release any information on Deniz.
