Kalispell Police officers headed to Murdoch’s Ranch and Home Supply on U.S. 93 South about 4:30 p.m., Sept. 27 for a report of an assault with a weapon, according to a press release issued by the department. They found one man suffering from a gunshot wound who was later taken to Logan Health Medical Center, authorities said.
