Multiple people injured in Wisconsin casino shooting, suspect apprehended – reports 3 dead, including gunman, in Wisconsin casino shooting
(about 2 hours later)
A suspect has been detained following an "active shooter" situation at an Oneida Nation casino in Ashwaubenon, Wisconsin. There were multiple victims, according to local media reports, but it remains unclear how many were shot. A gunman killed two people and seriously wounded a third at an Oneida Nation casino in Ashwaubenon, Wisconsin, before being neutralized by police who rushed to the scene.
Dozens of officers from multiple law enforcement agencies are working at the scene, which remains active, even though State Attorney General Josh Kaul confirmed that the situation is “contained” and there is “no longer a threat to the community.” The shooting took place at a casino adjacent to the Radisson Hotel and Conference Center, across from the Green Bay Austin Straubel International Airport, at around 7:30pm on Saturday. The suspect was killed after multiple agencies responded to the incident. No officers were injured.
The gunman was reportedly apprehended or neutralized, but the circumstances of the shooting remain unclear, and officials have yet to reveal the number of the victims and their conditions. Some local reports alleged up to seven people were shot, but authorities advised media to rely on official announcements. Investigators believe that the suspect intended to target a specific individual who was not at the casino at the time. Instead, the gunman “decided to still shoot some of the victim’s co-workers or friends, it appears,” Brown County Sheriff’s Lt. Kevin Pawlak told media. It’s believed that the shooter may have been an employee of the Oneida casino. 
Witnesses told local media that they heard gunshots shortly after arriving at the casino. As they headed back to their car from the parking lot, around 15 more shots were fired off. Moments later, police began pouring into the area.
Attorney General Josh Kaul confirmed that the situation had been “contained” and there is “no longer a threat to the community.” Police rerouted some traffic near the airport as they secured the scene.
Police were praised for their fast and effective response to the shooting. 
“I am incredibly thankful for the swift action of our law enforcement, who were able to apprehend the shooter quickly,” tweeted Wisconsin's 5th Assembly District Rep Jim Steineke.“I am incredibly thankful for the swift action of our law enforcement, who were able to apprehend the shooter quickly,” tweeted Wisconsin's 5th Assembly District Rep Jim Steineke.
