Michael Paul Brown, the suspect accused by police of opening fire inside a Montana bar and killing four people has been taken into custody, PEOPLE can confirm. According to sources with knowledge of the situation, Brown was taken into custody behind The Ranch Bar just west of Anaconda on Highway 1.

Authorities had been searching for the suspect who shot and killed 4 people last week at a bar in Anaconda, Montana.

State and local officials and law enforcement announced Friday they had captured a “technically” armed man near Anaconda alleged to have killed four people in an Aug. 1 shooting in that town, and he was in custody on Friday.
