Bruce K. Pofahl was identified as the gunman by Brown County Sheriff Todd Delain during a news conference Monday morning. Pofahl killed Ian J. Simpson, 32, and Jacob T. Bartel, 35, then minutes later shot and injured 28-year-old Danny Mulligan, according to the sheriff.
The 62-year-old gunman used a 9mm in the attack Saturday night, Delain said, before police shot and killed him outside the building. The Duck Creek restaurant is inside the Radisson Hotel & Conference Center, which is attached to the Oneida Casino in Ashwaubenon.
