On August 30, 2025, at approximately 2:43 a.m., the Great Falls MT Police Department and Cascade County Sheriff’s Office responded to a report of an active home invasion involving a firearm at 60 Gibson Flats Road. The home occupants were able to flee the scene, but the suspect remained inside.
The Central Montana High Risk Unit was activated and responded to the scene to resolve the incident.
The suspect in this incident did not comply with lawful commands from law enforcement on scene, who gave him numerous opportunities to surrender. Over the course of entire incident, several rounds were discharged from a firearm. At the conclusion of the incident, the suspect was found deceased in the residence.
The home occupants who fled the scene are safe and uninjured.
Due to the fact that both the Cascade County Sheriff’s Office and the Great Falls Police Department were both involved in the incident, and that this is an in-custody death investigation, the Montana Division of Criminal Investigation and the Lewis and Clark County Sheriff’s Office have been requested to investigate the incident.
