MILWAUKEE | Sun Oct 21, 2012 7:22pm EDT

MILWAUKEE (Reuters) - The lone suspect in a mass shooting at a spa in suburban Milwaukee, Wisconsin, has been found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound at the scene, Brookfield police said.

The suspected gunman was identified as 45-year-old Radcliffe Haughton, a resident of Brown Deer, Wisconsin.

The shooting incident at the Azana Salon & Spa in Brookfield left at least three people dead and four others injured, according to authorities, but it was not immediately clear whether Haughton was being counted as among the victims. Brookfield Police Chief Daniel Tushaus told reporters that the area was "still an active scene."

The guy was unemployed. His wife was paying the bills, then she told him she was leaving him.
There was also an IED in the building.
This is the usual domestic dispute killing.
The “Spa” was actually a beauty salon.
I guess Reuters knew this, I would certainly hope they would not leave out key details for drama effect.

Yet another reason for gun control advocates to preach. And again, I say “criminals will ALWAYS obtain weapons, regardless of how much honest law-abiding citizens are restricted from owning firearms”

There was a tour bus accident, several people died in it. I say lets out-law tour buses, they are vehicles capable of mass homicide.
