MTN News has requested information about the person who died such as whether that person was armed and shot at police, as well as details related to a string of robberies police say are involved in the incident.
The Montana Department of Justice now in charge of the investigation has declined to answer those questions, along with releasing any information about the agency directly involved in the fatal shooting.
