The former U.S. Army soldier accused of gunning down four people at a Montana bar has been captured following a weeklong manhunt.

A US Army veteran accused of fatally shooting four people at a bar in the US state of Montana a week ago has been arrested, according to officials. Michael Paul Brown, 45, was found on Friday afternoon near another pub not far from the scene of the original attack in the city of Anaconda on 1 August.

Authorities launched a manhunt for Michael Paul Brown after he allegedly opened fire in the Owl Bar on Aug. 1, killing the bartender and three patrons.
