Brookfield police say three were killed and four injured in a shooting at the Azana Salon & Spa late Sunday morning, October 21st. Police are seeking a suspected gunman whom they have identified as 45-year-old Radcliffe Haughton of Brown Deer.
Police have asked people to call (262) 787-3701 with any information that may help them in this case.
Police have said Haughton was reportedly wearing a gray sweater and blue jeans at the time of the shooting — and carrying a black and white backpack.
Haughton is reportedly the estranged husband of one of the hair stylists at the spa. The Brookfield Patch reports an Azana employee who spoke to Patch said the woman’s estranged husband was out of work and his wife was working every day to bring in money to pay the bills. However, she recently decided to leave him, and that’s when the problems started. An Azana employee told the Patch the two have two daughters, ages 12 and 21.
Police have said the suspect’s vehicle — a black 2003 Mazda Protege, with license number 171-KZD was located, but not in Brookfield. The location where the vehicle was found was not disclosed by officials.
Anyone with information as to the whereabouts of the suspect is asked to call police immediately via the number listed above.
Police have said they are still searching portions of the Azana Salon & Spa as of 3:00 p.m. Sunday afternoon. Brookfield Police Chief Dan Tushaus said an IED, or improvised explosive device was identified in the building — which hampered the clearing of the building.
Froedtert Hospital has confirmed to FOX6 News four victims arrived at the hospital for treatment. Froedtert has said they are aware of no other hospitals receiving patients. Froedtert is a Level One Trauma Center, and is on standby to handle any additional victims needing treatment.
FOX6 News learned just before 2:00 p.m. that Froedtert Hospital and Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin is on lockdown, with no one allowed to enter or exit the hospital without a police escort. Officials have said the reason for this is because the location of the shooter is unknown. Hospital security, Wauwatosa police and Milwaukee County Sheriff’s officials are patrolling the hospital grounds.
FOX6 News is told none of the four victims that have arrived at Froedtert are in critical condition, though the extent of their injuries is unknown at this time. The age and gender of the victims is also unknown at this time — as is whether there were any fatalities at the scene.
The Brookfield Patch has reported one of those injured is pregnant. She reportedly suffered non life threatening injuries, according to the Patch.
Brookfield Square Mall across the street was on lockdown following the shooting, but according to the Brookfield Patch, around 1:20 p.m. people were allowed to leave the mall.
There are multiple police agencies on the scene — with Brookfield Police Department handling the scene.
FOX6′s media partners at the Brookfield Patch reported a bomb squad was called to the scene after 1 p.m. after reports of an explosive device in the Azana Spa building.
The FBI told FOX6 News a SWAT Team, a victims’ specialist, a hostage negotiator and several command personnel from the Milwaukee field office have been dispatched to the scene.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms has 10 agents on the scene.
A perimeter has been established — extending to the BP gas station in the area.
The Wisconsin DOT has announced the I-94 eastbound and 1-94 westbound ramps to head northbound on Moorland Road are closed due to law enforcement activity. Moorland Road is closed in both directions from I-94 to Bluemound Road.
Sunday’s shooting in Brookfield comes about 10 weeks after Wade Michael Page opened fire at the Sikh Temple in Oak Creek, killing six and critically injuring three.
In 2005, Brookfield officials responded to a mass shooting incident at the Sheraton Hotel, when a man opened fire during a church service, killing seven before turning the gun on himself.

He was in court less than 2 weeks ago for a domestic abuse charge + restraining order.
This pic was on his Google+ account, although I don't know how recent it is:
Yeah, definitely no warning signs of a psycho here!
And to add, it's a good thing the shooting location was another "gun free zone"! Nothing can happen there!
Good grief, When are people going to wake up and realize that criminals don't pay attention to "no weapons allowed" signs...meanwhile, people who LEGALLY carry a weapon will follow the law and pay attention to the sign which renders them unarmed...and unable to potentially thwart an attack.
