Seven people were shot, and three were killed by a gunman at a spa and hair salon in Brookfield, Wisconsin, today, according to CNN:
“Police are searching for Radcliffe Haughton, 45, of Brown Deer, Thomas Ahern, a spokesman for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives said.
The shooting is being investigated as a possible domestic-related incident, he added.
…
Police “believe we have identified what is being described as an improvised explosive device,” in the salon the chief said, adding that the device was hampering the investigation.
Beth Strohbusch of Froedtert Hospital in nearby Milwaukee told CNN that none of the four victims who had arrived there were in critical condition.
..
The spa is about half a mile from a Sheraton hotel where a gunman killed seven people and himself in March 2005. Terry Ratzmann, 44, burst into a service being held by a Living Church of God congregation and fired 22 rounds before shooting himself.
The White House reported President Obama convened a conference call at Camp David with Homeland Security Advisor John Brennan, FBI Director Robert Mueller and Chief of Staff Jack Lew to discuss the shooting, and released the following statement:
