A man suspected in a shooting at a Montana bar that left four people dead was captured Friday just a few miles from where the shooting happened after hundreds of law enforcement officers spent the past week scouring nearby mountainsides, authorities said. Michael Paul Brown, 45, was taken into custody around 2 p.m. near the area where authorities had focused their search in the days following the Aug. 1 shooting at The Owl Bar in Anaconda, about 190 kilometers) from Missoula.

An Army veteran wanted in connection with the killing four people at a bar in the town of Anaconda was taken into custody on Friday after an eight-day manhunt.

The man accused of fatally shooting four people at a Montana bar has been caught after a week-long manhunt, Governor Greg Gianforte said.
