The suspect in the deadly Montana bar shooting has been captured after a weeklong manhunt, Montana Gov. Greg Gianforte announced Friday. Michael Brown, 45, had been on the run in the mountains since Aug. 1, when authorities say he killed four people at The Owl Bar in the town of Anaconda.

"The Anaconda shooter Michael Brown has been apprehended. Incredible response from law enforcement officers across Montana. Thank you to all partners for your commitment to the search," Gianforte posted on X.

Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen said that at approximately 2 p.m., authorities apprehended and placed Brown under arrest near the search area in Anaconda.
