Four dead in Wisconsin salon shooting, including gunman
[Updated 6:10 p.m.] Suspected shooter Radcliffe Haughton has been found dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, Brookfield police Chief Daniel Tushaus said. He was found inside the salon where the shooting occurred.
[Updated 5:38 p.m.] Froedtert Hospital - the Milwaukee medical facility where four shooting victims are being treated - has "resumed normal operations" after earlier being placed in lockdown mode, the hospital said on its website.
"We are certain that our environment is safe," the hospital said in an update published at 4:25 p.m. CT.
[Updated 5:20 p.m.] President Barack Obama learned of the shooting around 12:30 p.m. CT from homeland security adviser John Brennan and then had a follow-up call an hour later involving, among others, FBI Director Bob Mueller, a White House statement said.
"The president was informed that the shooting did not appear to be terrorism-related," the statement said.
Earlier, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker offered '"our thoughts and prayers to the victims" and "the law enforcement and community support they need to heal in the coming days."
[Updated 4:56 p.m.] Authorities working to clear the building where Sunday's bloody shooting took place "believe we have identified what is being described as an improvised explosive device," Brookfield police Chief Daniel Tushaus said.
The device is "hampering our clearing of that building," the chief added.
[Updated 4:41 p.m.] Authorities "believe" three of the seven people shot Sunday have died, according to Tushaus.
The shooting took place around 11 a.m. CT (noon ET), the chief explained.
Authorities have been able to track down a 2003 Mazda Protege linked to the suspect - which was found outside the city of Brookfield - but the suspect remains at large. He's been identified as Radcliffe Haughton, who Tushaus said weighs 270 pounds and stands just over 6 feet tall.
[Updated 4:10 p.m.] Bomb squad personnel are at the scene of the shooting, Brookfield police Lt. John Beth said, pointing to concerns there may be explosives at the site.
[Updated 3:42 p.m.] ATF spokesman Thomas Ahern identifies the suspected shooter as Radcliffe Haughton, 45, of Brown Deer, Wisconsin. The shooting is being investigated as a possible domestic-related incident, according to Ahern. The suspect remains at large.

[Updated 1:54 p.m.]Â CNN affiliate WISN reports that a witness described seeing two women leaving the spa, apparently injured. Â One crawled out and was taken by emergency responders. Â The other was treated by emergency personnel in a squad car.
[Updated 1:32 p.m.] Hospital spokeswoman Nalissa Wienke tells CNN all four people in the emergency room appear to have non-critical injuries.  She could not say whether the injuries were due to gunshots.  At this time, the hospital does not believe it will need more staff, she said.

CNN affiliate WISN called it a "mass shooting."

See? This is why guns need to be banned forever in America. Things like the Colorado shootings, the Sikh massacre, Virginia Tech, and now this would NEVER happen. I'm sorry but guns have no purpose whatsoever on Earth. TRUST me...
No, you're wrong. Trust me
noposter – anony was being sarcastic.
Are you serious? You really thing banning weapons in America is going to solve anything? CRIMINALS and FELONS will always have access to weapons. Same goes for illegal drugs, but you still see them all over America now don't you.
I find it laughable how some people realize that the war on drugs (banning drugs) isn't working and yet they support wholeheartedly the war on guns (banning guns). I mean, Really?
Many of these people are basing their opinions on information, not hypotheticals. Northern European countries are good examples – strict gun laws, progressive drug policy, low violent crime rates. Look into it.
Yep guns don't kill people. people do.
So once we get rid of all people, a million years of peace shall reign !
It was Ted Nugent
And I was going to vote the Nugent/Snooki ticket.
How many people have to die before Americans realize that assault weapons should be banned. There were no assault weapons when the right to bare arms was put in place. You can't blame this totally on mental health. You can talk about parents doing a better job but when you have a household that is VERY pro guns of any-kind then it is no wonder that you have all the mass killings. Just in the last few days there was an American that shot one of our Customs Officers and then killed himself at the Canadian – American border crossing. Not reported on CNN.
We should be like England, a nanny state where you go to prison for carrying a pocket knife and the pubs serve beer in shatter proof sippy cups so you can't break them and use shards of glass as weapons.
Full story??? Hardly...
I am from this area, and let me tell you that this is an affluent, mostly-white neighborhood. Also, the newest reports are that this was a husband of one of the salon sytlists, not just a random shooting.
Sounds like a love triangle in the burbs.
This is why I have my conceal and carry. I always carry my gun with me, I will never be caught off guard. I will never be a victim of a senseless killer.
Sounds like someone practices Unagi. Ross Geller is that you?
And you'll always be well prepared to commit a violent crime of passion or an accidental shooting...
good for you! let the law obiding citizens carry conceal and there will be no mass shooting. my views were different before, but now if i can i would. a gun society is a polite society as they say. maybe if someone was carrying a firearm, there would have been less victim and suspect would have been shot as well. Or maybe it would have never happened cause suspect knows that someone next to him or her will shoot back.
Even when you're in your underwear in the tanning bed?
I have my concealed carry, too but don't let that give you a false sense of security. Your hand gun is no match for a fully automatic weapon. Worst yet, you're just as likely to shoot and kill an innocent bystander as you are the attacker. The instructor in my concealed carry class taught us that well-trained police officers only hit their targets 15% of the time when they're in a stressful situation. What do you think those stats drop to for the average citizen with a conceal carry permit?
The NRA is too strong; unfortunately, this is the way it will be in America from now on. It is an embarrassment, but.....
If god didn't want people to have guns Jesus wouldn't have had a shotgun rack in his pickup truck.
How is that pronounced, Hayzeus?
It's pronounced Jay-zas. Never heard the LORD'S name before?
Blame the gun and not the shooter. Typical Liberal garbage.
blame both. he would never have been able to pull that off without a gun.
How about we blame all the right wing nuts that have turned this country into a shooting arcade.
If there was no gun, there'd be no shooter. Or atleast, far less of them.
Its the right wing nut shooter with the gun, typical stupid republican.
Lord, let us pray ....please let it be conservative evangelicals that got shot!
It doesn't have to be one or the other.
Both could be concurrent and but for cause.
A highway shooter in Michigan, a shooter at a spa in Wisconsin, I tell you if you get a right-wing Christian fanatic in the north they will be like a fish out of water. They just get confused, can't figure out which way is up and start shooting the place to Hell.
I guess your a right winger when you vote for Obama.. news to me... I guess Romney fans are left wing to you?
Paul Ryan really flipped out this time. Unbalanced people should not be allowed to run for office.
Yes...guns dont kill people.. really?
Its like alcohol does not make people tipsy.
Guns are the last thing this country needs i this economic mess.
inanimate substances and yes objects require animation of some sort to make them volatile and/or active. simple law of physics tells us this to be true.
Alcohol in a bottle or can pose no risk until it is consumed
A gun sitting in a locked and unloaded capacity poses no risk until it is loaded and wielded
Any object can be used as a means to an end or a desired outcome by the user, whom is always a human being. It just so happens that guns make cowards and the unstable braver.
Thanks NRA!
The NRA's non-stop "defense" of the 2nd Amendment is nothing more than a lobby for manufacturers, so they can continue to sell guns, unrestricted and unfettered... Now guns are, of course, "durable" goods, and thus seldom need replacement. So you can't really make an argument that they need to be "replenished." Hence, the 2nd Amendment defense.
This, of course, has kept a steady flow of guns into the marketplace, making it ever-easier for "bad guys" to have them.
It's pretty simple.
And yeah, I'm a registered gun owner.
