An Army veteran wanted in connection with the killing of four people at a bar in the town of Anaconda was taken into custody on Friday after an eight-day manhunt.
The man accused of fatally shooting four people in a bar disappeared into a rugged forest. An official said the search for him was law enforcement’s “top focus.”
Public access to an area west of Anaconda, Mont., known as Stump Town has been blocked while the authorities search for the suspect in a deadly shooting.
Many manhunts end quickly, but the man accused of killing four people in rural Montana appears to have disappeared into the kind of wilderness that helps elude pursuers.
Those killed on Friday were a bartender and three patrons, ranging in age from 59 to 74, the authorities said. The suspect fled into the nearby foothills.
Four people were killed in the attack inside the Owl Bar in Anaconda, Mont. The authorities are still searching for the suspect, an Army veteran who lived nearby.
Officials urged residents to go about their weekend as the authorities searched the foothills for the veteran suspected of killing four people in the town of Anaconda.
On Saturday, the Owl Bar in Anaconda, Mont., was cordoned off with yellow police tape. Someone had placed two small bouquets of flowers against a lamp post outside.
