POLSON — The man who was charged with killing one person and injuring two others in a shooting in Ferndale last year was sentenced to prison on Wednesday morning.
Matthew Vitek, 49, of Bigfork who shot and killed 56-year-old Tammi Jordan in December 2023 was sentenced to 100 years in the Montana State Prison on a deliberate homicide charge.
Vitek was also sentenced on Wednesday for two counts of attempted deliberate homicide, each for 100 years which will run concurrently.
