Camoflauged Gunman kills three
August 1st, 2008
Suspect held after 3 swimmers killed in Wisc.
Sheriff’s authorities said a man armed with a military-style assault rifle shot and killed the three Michigan teenagers and wounded a 20-year-old Michigan man Thursday evening. The group had gathered to go swimming near the Wisconsin-Michigan border near Niagara, Wisconsin…
The victims had gathered near a railroad bridge on the Menominee River when the gunman came out of the woods and opened fire about 5:30 p.m. Thursday, according to Sheriff Mike Kanikula.
Other reports I’ve seen indicate that the shooter was within ten feet of one of his targets when he fired and that there was no communication between the shooter and the victims. There were 9 kids gathered at the time.
I’ve been unable to find out what sort of “military-style assault rifle” was used in the crime.
