A man suspected in a shooting at The Owl Bar in Anaconda, Montana, has been captured after a weeklong search. Michael Paul Brown, 45, was taken into custody near the area where authorities had focused their search in the days following the Aug. 1 shooting. Brown was placed under arrest without providing more details about where he was found. Montana Gov. Greg Gianforte confirmed Brown’s capture on social media, saying it was an incredible response from law enforcement officers across the state. Authorities planned to release more details about Brown’s capture during a news conference Friday evening. Brown, who lived next door to The Owl Bar, served in the Army as an armor crewman from 2001 to 2005 and deployed to Iraq from early 2004 until March 2005. He also was in the Montana National Guard from 2006 to 2009. Brown’s niece, Clare Boyle, told the AP her uncle has struggled with mental illness for years and has repeatedly sought help. Authorities plan to release more details about Brown’s capture during a news conference Friday evening.
