Juvenile Arrested
GREAT FALLS, MT – Wednesday, October 30, 2024, at approximately 5:17PM, 911 Dispatch received a report of shots fired in the 200 block of 8th St N. The first officer arrived in under two minutes. Right away, 14 other GFPD officers, including several detectives and Montana State Probation and Parole officers, responded.

Throughout the initial investigation, officers determined there were no injuries, though a firearm was discharged, and that the incident was not a random act of violence; all parties involved knew each other.
