Three people were killed and four injured in a Sunday morning shooting rampage at a spa near a mall in Brookfield, just miles from the Wisconsin gurdwara where six Sikh worshippers were shot dead in August.
The multiple shooting occurred about 11 am at the Azana Salon & Spa near Brookfield Square Mall, a report said.
Waukesha County authorities confirmed late Sunday afternoon that the suspected shooter, Radcliffe F Haughton (45) of Brown Deer, was found dead inside the spa.
Police said it had still not cleared the entire building by late afternoon and that their investigation of the building was hampered by what they believe to be an improvised explosive device. The Milwaukee bomb squad had been called to the scene.
