3 Killed in Mass Shooting in Brookfield Wisconsin

A mass shooting occurred at Azana Salon and Spa, across the street from Brookfield Square Mall in Brookfield, Wisconsin, just after 11am CDT, Sunday. Three people were killed in the attack and four were treated at Froedtert Hospital, with non critical injuries.

What is believed to be an improvised explosive device was found on the scene of the shooting, leading to bomb squad involvement. SWAT teams searched through the nine thousand square foot spa, not immediately finding a shooter, causing police to begin a manhunt.

The manhunt lasted a few hours before the body of the suspect was found somewhere in the building. He died of a self inflicted gun shut wound. During the manhunt Brookfield Square Mall, Westmoor Country Club, Froedtert Hospital, and the nearby Children's Hospital were all on lock down. Several roads in the were shut down.

Brookfield Square is located less than twenty miles from the Sikh temple in Oak Creek, which experienced a mass shooting, in August. Another mass shooting took place just a few blocks down the road from the mall, in March 2005.
