The man identified as the gunman in Saturday night’s shooting at the Oneida Casino had a restraining order against him at the time. According to Brown County Court records, a temporary order was issued against Bruce Pofahl at the request of a woman on March 9th–with a permanent injunction issued on March 23rd. The complaint was based on accusations of harassment. A note in the file adds that there was no firearm restriction placed on Pofahl at the time the permanent restraining order was issued. Investigators have stated that Pofahl’s “main target” was not working at the casino restaurant on the night of the shootings.
According to court records, Brown County Court Commissioner Phoebe Mix granted a temporary restraining order against Pofahl on March 9 on behalf of a restaurant employee who previously supervised Pofahl. The employee, in documents filed that month, said Pofahl sent her threatening text messages and emails over the course of a few weeks that included pictures of her home and threats against her family.
Pofahl made comments like time s up in the messages, according to the employee. She said the behavior continued even after police contacted him multiple times. Hotel staff were also aware of the situation and shared her concerns.
