A man currently faces a potential charge of attempted deliberate homicide after a shooting incident in Hungry Horse Sunday night.

Flathead County Sheriff’s Deputies responded to a call of a man, later identified as Adrian Gengler, 28, shooting a firearm outside a store about 8:48 p.m. on Highway 2 East.

Concurrently, they received reports of Gengler allegedly shooting at another person and was seen fleeing the scene on foot.  Deputies responded and located a man matching the suspect description hiding behind a building, armed with a handgun.

Employees locked themselves inside the store during the incident, according to police reports.

Gengler is being held in the Flathead County Detention Center on $175,000 bail pending formal charges.
