A SHOOTER killed three family members at a home in a small town in the U.S. state of Wisconsin, then went to a residence in a nearby community and opened fire on more people, sheriff’s officials said Monday. The shootings some 15 km apart left a total of five people dead, including the suspect, and two others wounded. Authorities found the shooter and another person dead while responding to a 911 call in Lake Hallie in about 10:30 p.m. Sunday, Sheriff James Kowalczyk told WQOW-TV. Authorities said the dead were a man and a woman, but Kowalczyk didn’t say which one was the shooter or how authorities were able to determine who the shooter was. Two other adults at the home in Lake Hallie were rushed to the hospital with gunshot wounds. There was no immediate word on their conditions. Authorities looking to notify the shooter’s relatives then went to a home in the Town of Lafayette at around 2:30 a.m. Monday and discovered three more bodies, Kowalczyk said. The dead there were a man, a woman and a boy. Kowalczyk told WQOW that authorities were still trying to determine a motive. (SD-Agencies) |
