Divorce lawyer among 4 shot in domestic dispute shooting
even encountered each other during the rampage. The records show she lives at the family’s home in Weston while Vang resides in the apartment where police eventually captured him. The Wausau Daily Herald reported Nengmy Vang was allowed to take four guns with him when he moved out of the family residence.
Investigators have said the shootings followed a domestic dispute between the couple but they’ve released no details about what may have happened between them. Nengmy Vang went to a Rothschild bank around midday on Wednesday, where he allegedly shot and killed workers Dianne Look and Karen Barclay.
He then traveled to nearby Schofield and killed 43-year-old attorney Sarah Quirt Sann at her office. Sann represented Naly Vang in the divorce case. He then fled to his apartment in Weston and barricaded himself inside. As police were setting up a perimeter around the apartment shot and killed Jason Weiland, a 40-year-old Everest Metro Police Department detective, according to authorities. Police eventually shot and wounded Vang and took him into custody. His condition is unknown.
Investigators have not said why he opened fire at the bank. They have not publicly identified Nengmy Vang as the suspect. A source close to the investigation gave his name to The Associated Press on Friday on condition of anonymity because the person wasn’t authorized to speak. His divorce attorney, David Gardner Casey, didn’t return messages Friday.
The state Justice Department is leading the investigation. Department spokesman Johnny Koremenos said in an email that the agency may release a short update later Friday afternoon but more detailed information likely won’t come until next week.
