The suspect in last weekend's murder in Hungry Horse was waiting for the victim with a shotgun, according to newly filed court documents.  

Prosecutors on Monday charged Dylan Austin Olson, 25, with felony deliberate homicide in connection with the Feb. 28 shooting death of 30-year-old David Bollman. Held in the county jail with bail set at $700,000 since March 1, Olson is expected to appear before Judge Dan Wilson in Flathead County District Court on May 7 for his arraignment.  

Olson admitted to shooting Bollman and told investigators with the Flathead County Sheriff's Office that he fired in self-defense, according to an affidavit filed in district court on March 2. Believing that Bollman was coming to his 100 block Main Street property to confront him, Olson recounted fetching a shotgun from his vehicle and loading it with less lethal rounds, court documents said.  

But the man who drove Bollman to Olson's property said the 30-year-old was not looking for a fight. Bollman was excited and happy prior to the shooting, he told investigators.  

He described watching as Bollman exited his vehicle and began walking toward Olson. Olson fired without saying a word, he told investigators.  

When deputies responded to the shooting about 7:13 p.m., they found Bollman on the ground. He was pronounced dead at the scene of an apparent gunshot wound, court documents said.  

Olson is already facing a felony burglary accountability case in district court. He had been scheduled to appear before Judge Heidi Ulbricht on Thursday for a change of plea hearing.
