BUTTETwo men are jailed in Butte after a gun was discharged in a residence near Montana Tech, prompting a warning to students.

Dispatchers received a 911 call reporting gunshots at about 1:30 a.m. Sunday. Officers also heard what sounded like gunshots as they approached and saw the lights go out in one of the residences.

The occupants wouldn't open the door for police, so the SWAT team was called and officers forced their way into the house.

Sheriff John Walsh tells The Montana Standard two intoxicated men in the house were arrested.

Montana Tech students received a text message at 1:30 a.m. warning them about a gunman near campus and advising them to stay inside or avoid campus. Five hours later, they received a text telling them the situation was over.
