TWO KILLED IN SHOOTING AT U.S. CASINO RESTAURANT; GUNMAN SLAIN

GREEN BAY, WISCONSIN: A gunman killed two people at a Wisconsin casino restaurant and seriously wounded a third person before he was killed by police late on Saturday, in what authorities said appeared to be a targeted attack. Kevin Pawlak from Brown County sheriff’s office said investigators believe the gunman was seeking a specific person he was angry at.

“He was targeting a specific victim who was not there, but he decided to still shoot some of the victim’s friends or co-workers, it appears,” Pawlak said.

Neither the gunman nor the shooting victims were immediately identified.

Pawlak wasn’t sure if the shooter was a former employee of the restaurant, but said “it appears there’s some relationship that had to do with employment.” “Whether or not they all worked there, we’re still working on,” he said.

The wounded person was being treated at a Milwaukee hospital, Pawlak said.

The attack happened around 7.30pm at the Oneida Casino, operated by the Oneida Nation on the western side of Green Bay, with the casino tweeting that an active shooter was on the scene.

Jawad Yatim, a witness, said he saw at least two people shot.

“I know for sure two, because it happened right next to us, literally right next to us,” Yatim said. “But he was shooting pretty aggressively in the building, so I wouldn’t doubt him hitting other people.” Yatim said the shooting began in a casino restaurant.

“We got the hell out of there, thank god we’re okay, but obviously we wish the best for everybody who’s been shot,” he said.
