The Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office has completed its investigation into the Dec. 26 shooting death of a 31-year-old Kalispell man.
Now the sheriff’s office will send its report to the county attorney’s office to determine if charges will be filed against the man’s mother-in-law who allegedly fired the fatal shot, according to Sheriff Roby Bowe.
According to Bowe, the sheriff’s office received a call from Lois Kay Olbekson at 10:17 p.m. on Dec. 26 stating that she had just shot her son-in-law, Michael Leonard Roloff, after he had threatened her.
When deputies arrived at the scene on Glendora Avenue in Libby about three minutes later, they found Roloff unresponsive and lying in the driveway of the home; deputies then started performing CPR on him. The Libby Volunteer Ambulance took him to Cabinet Peaks Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead at about 11 p.m.
