MISSOULA — We are learning additional information about an incident that drew law enforcement to a home on South Avenue on Tuesday afternoon.
According to the Montana Division of Criminal Investigation (DCI), two Montana Highway Patrol troopers were investigating a hit-and-run crash.
The investigation led them to a man at a residence in the 3800 block of South Avenue West.
But when the troopers arrived at the home, a 53-year-old man died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to DCI.
It's MTN's policy not to cover suicides, but because we initially reported on this incident we're sharing this follow-up.
The man's name has not been released, but an autopsy is pending with a full investigation underway.
