3 KILLED IN WIS. SHOOTING

• A shooting at a bar near Kenosha, Wis., (above) early Sunday leaves three people dead. Police say a person of interest has been located.

Three people were killed and three more were hospitalized after a shooting at a bar early Sunday in Somers, Wis., near Kenosha.

The Kenosha County Sheriff’s Department said Sunday afternoon that a person of interest had been located and would be charged with one count of first-degree intentional homicide, with additional criminal charges to follow after further investigation.

It did not identify the suspect or provide details about a possible motive.

The shooting took place at 12:42 a.m. at the Somers House tavern, according to the sheriff ’s office, which said that it had appeared to be a “targeted and isolated incident.”

Authorities said that they did not believe the community was in danger.

“We believe our suspect knew who he was targeting,” Sheriff David Beth said during a news conference early Sunday, adding that it appeared the gunman had been asked to leave the bar and later returned. He said that a handgun had been used and that it was not clear whether there had been more than one person shooting.

The victims were still being identified, but Beth said that all three were men, two of whom died at the scene. All three victims who had been hospitalized were men, and another person, a possible female shooting victim, might have left the bar before emergency responders arrived, authorities said.

In August, a Kenosha police officer shot Jacob Blake, a 29-year-old Black man, leaving him partly paralyzed. Kyle Rittenhouse, a teenager from Illinois, was charged with fatally shooting two people in Kenosha during the demonstrations that followed.
