MISSOULA –– A reward is being offered for anyone with information about a robbery that occurred in May which resulted in the recovery of a handgun near Kellogg High School.   

The robbery happened on May 16 at the Downtown Gun and Pawn in Missoula, when a lone male suspect entered the pawn shop and requested to see a firearm that was for sale. After the handgun was in his possession, the suspect left the store with the firearm and fled in a dark grey or silver Lexus bearing unknown out-of-state license plates.  

The gun was found on Monday, May 20, by a KHS teacher, who discovered it inside a box while her class was picking up trash along Jackass Creek. The teacher immediately turned the firearm over to the school resource officer, police said.
