The Lake County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a shooting which occurred at a party early Sunday morning in St. Ignatius.

According to Sheriff Don Bell, Christopher Brooks, 21, of Ronan, was arrested and charged with two counts of assault with a weapon and marijuana possession. His bond was set at $100,000 in Lake County Justice Court.

In a press release, Bell said at about 3 a.m. Sunday, Aug. 15, Lake County deputies and Flathead Tribal Police responded to a report of a man shooting at people in the St. Mary’s Lake Road area of St. Ignatius.

The investigation revealed there had been a party and some sort of disagreement arose during it.
