Violence at a Wisconsin Church Service

by TChris

Armed with a handgun, a man killed seven people and wounded four others at a church service in Brookfield, Wisconsin. The man then killed himself. The victims included two teenagers.

What prompted the violence at the Sheraton Hotel in Brookfield 10 miles west of Milwaukee during a regular service of the Living Church of God in a meeting room was still under investigation, Brookfield's police chief, Dan Tushaus, told reporters. He said the unidentified 45-year-old shooter "was either a member or somehow affiliated with the church" and that he entered the service while in session and began firing.
