Attorney General Austin Noodsen prayed to the families of four victims of the bar massacre before talking.
“This is actually an unprecedented level of cooperation,” Nudson said, referring to local, state and federal officials who assisted in arrest. “This is a good day. We found our man.”
He thanked the American martial service, called him “a big property for us today” and said that they were “directly involved” in Brown’s fear. He revealed that 130 personnel were involved in the search, and the community’s suggestions also played an important role in capturing Brown.

The blind emotional anaconda-dir lodge County Attorney Morgan Smith also spoke.
“This is not the end, it’s the beginning,” Smith said. “I am convinced in the investigative work done at this point. I am also incredibly assured among those who are going to continue to do discovered work to ensure that we can sue the matter to the entire extent of the law.”
During the press conference, about 20 residents of the city, who were on the shore throughout the week on the possibility of brown returning and more damage, gathered outside the courtyard and heard good news.

The police identified Brown almost immediately, and followed, but in a stroke of fate for the alleged shooter, a similar Ford truck pulled on the highway while chasing, stopping the efforts of the authorities to take into custody immediately.
The vehicle was driving brown, which had external equipment and food, was recovered immediately after, but he was gone.

Another resident, Matt Fontanote described a disputed city, who spent the week on the shore.
“I think the wind has almost changed, as the attitude of the city has become slightly more humble than normal, just because people feel that they really do not really control their lives because of this,” he said.
