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.

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

State authorities have not said what sparked last week’s shooting, which left a female bartender and three male patrons dead. The victims were identified as Nancy Lauretta Kelley, 64; Daniel Edwin Baillie, 59; David Allen Leach, 70; and Tony Wayne Palm, 74.
