A 27-year-old man has been arrested as the suspected gunman in a Marion shooting on June 14.

Leif Lee has been booked in the Flathead County Detention Center. Prior to his arrest, prosecutors charged Lee with criminal endangerment and assault with a weapon, both felonies.

According to court documents, Lee was involved in an argument with a woman outside the Rail Line Tavern just after 2 a.m. June 14. A witness tried to step in, at which point Lee allegedly pulled out a gun.

Witnesses say he fired two shots, injuring a man and a woman. The woman was taken to the hospital with serious injuries.

Lee will have an initial appearance in the coming days.  An arraignment will follow in Flathead County District Court.

Lee’s bail has been set at $150,000.
