The man accused of fatally shooting

four people at a bar in the small Montanan southwestern town of

Anaconda on August 1 has been caught after a week-long manhunt,

Governor Greg Gianforte said on Friday.



The suspect, Army veteran Michael Brown, was sought in

connection with the killing of bartender Nancy Lauretta Kelley,

64, and customers Daniel Edwin Baillie, 59, David Allen Leach,

70, and Tony Wayne Palm, 74.



"The Anaconda shooter Michael Brown has been apprehended,"

Gianforte said on X.



The U.S. Marshals Service had posted a $7,500 reward for any

information leading to his capture after he vanished, sparking a

search in nearby mountains.
