On November 1st, 2025, at approximately 2:21 pm, Broadwater County Dispatch received a call about an accidental gun discharge on Magpie Gulch.
Due to the distance and location, it took Broadwater County Sheriff’s Deputies and Search and Rescue approximately one hour to arrive at the location. Upon arrival, it was determined that Michael Flohr, a Gallatin County Detention Officer, was deceased.
Michael Flohr and one other individual were hunting when they arrived back at the side-by-side. One of the guns discharged and that resulted in the death of Michael Flohr. This incident is still under investigation by the Broadwater County Sheriff’s Office.
Our hearts go out to Michael Flohr's family and his work family at the Gallatin County Sheriff’s Office.
