A 17-year-old girl wanted for allegedly shooting five people after being pushed out of a Denver bar last month has been arrested more than 900 miles away in California.
Officers from the Denver Police Department tracked Keanna Rosenburgh to a location in the San Bernardino County town of Barstow Thursday, with help from the FBI and local police.
Rosenburgh was arrested in California on eight counts of attempted first-degree murder, police said in a news update Friday.
The mass shooting happened on September 16 at country singer Dierks Bentley’s crowded Whiskey Row bar in downtown Denver.
The shooter, later identified by police as Rosenburgh, allegedly became enraged after security guards stopped him from entering the tavern because they suspected he was using a fake ID, station KDVR reported at the time.

The rejected would-be patron momentarily left the line of people waiting to enter the Market Street nightclub, before returning to another altercation with security.
As seen on surveillance video, the teenager then pulled out a gun and fired a barrage of shots into the crowded nightclub.
The bullets hit 5 innocent people, who the police said were not the intended targets.

All the victims survived their injuries, according to officials.
Five days later, Rosenburgh was identified as the prime suspect in the mass shooting thanks to a tip from the community.
“Through extensive investigative efforts, Denver Police Fugitive Unit investigators determined the suspect was in Barstow, California, and further investigation and surveillance led to an arrest this morning,” police said in a press release.
The Denver District Attorney’s Office will make the final determination of the juvenile suspect’s charges, and if he will be tried as an adult. Some aspects of the investigation are being withheld from public disclosure because Rosenburgh is still a minor.
It was not immediately known when Rosenburgh would be returned to Denver to face legal proceedings.
