A potentially catastrophic situation was averted Friday evening when Lincoln County Sheriff's Office deputies arrested Mason Risteau, 20, near the Libby Christian Church. More than 400 people were in the church attending a fall party when Risteau, who had a loaded 7 mm rifle with him, was apprehended. 

The Western News will provide more details later today.
