When this appeared online, I spoke to a friend who lives in the Kalispell area; he stated no mention of the "raid" in local papers or other news outlets, nor any gossip. The 'Montana Daily Gazette' is an online news outlet, not a printed paper like the Billings Gazette. It also appears to be a very new effort.
