Man Shoots At Montana Deputies

The Montana Highway Patrol confirmed Sunday night that it sent officers to help Madison County deputies who were being shot at south of Ennis.

A Department of Transportation spokeswoman said U.S. 287 was closed for about a mile because a man was shooting at a sheriff.

The patrol said officers from Ennis and West Yellowstone responded to the area just after 9 p.m.

At 10 p.m., the Madison County dispatcher said the situation was ongoing.

The patrol did not know what brought on the shooting.
