October 21. 2012 - Three people were killed and four wounded when a gunman opened fire at a suburban Milwaukee spa Sunday, Brookfield Police Chief Dan Tushaus said.
The suspect, Radcliffe Franklin Haughton, 45, was later found dead inside the spa, Tushaus told the Associated Press.
Police, sheriff's deputies and a bomb-detection team were on the scene at Azana Salon and Spa, where what appeared to be an improvised explosive device was found, Tushaus said.
Previous Story:
At least seven people were shot Sunday near a suburban Milwaukee
mall, and a manhunt was underway for the gunman, law enforcement and
hospital officials said.
Deputies were on the scene of a shooting at Azana Salon and Spa
across the street from Brookfield Square Mall, the Associated Press
reports.
WISN-TV in Wisconsin reports that at least seven people were wounded.
The TV station says area traffic has been redirected away from the mall
and armed officers have surrounded spa. WISN reports that officials
described a "mass casualty" situation and that the scene is not secured.
A woman who answered the phone at the Waukesha County Sheriff's
Department told AP that the shooter remained at large. The shootings
took place around 11 a.m. local time, or noon ET.
Beth Strohbusch, a spokeswoman for Froedtert Memorial Hospital,
said four shooting victims were taken there, and three more were expected. She
said none of the four already received were in critical condition.
WISN said police were asking people in the mall's parking lot to
clear out so officers were setting up operations there. Tactical teams
were on the scene, as well as numerous fire, ambulance and police
vehicles. A medical helicopter also was on the ground.
The shootings took place less than three months after the mass
shooting at a Sikh temple in Oak Creek, Wis. The temple shootings
resulted in the death of seven people including the gunman who killed
himself.
