Description

Authorities have identified a suspect in connection with a series of gunfire incidents and property damage reported near East Idaho Street in Kalispell earlier this week.

A felony arrest warrant was issued Wednesday for Brian Werner, 53, of Kalispell, on charges of criminal endangerment and criminal mischief. Werner remains at large.

He is suspected of vandalizing more than 20 vehicles, slashing tires and discharging a firearm multiple times in Kalispell between late Sunday night and early Monday morning, according to a news release from Police Chief Jordan Venezio. At least two buildings and one vehicle were struck by gunfire.

“Fortunately, no injuries have been reported,” Venezio said.

Several Kalispell police officers were stationed at the Parkline Towers Apartments on Monday morning following a large overnight police presence.

During the investigation, detectives obtained multiple search warrants, reviewed surveillance footage and collected other evidence from the scene. A vehicle and several firearms were also seized, Venezio said.

Authorities believe Werner may have left the area. Anyone with information about his whereabouts or who may have witnessed the incidents is urged to contact the Kalispell Police Department at 406-758-7780.
