A former employee at a hotel restaurant that s connected to the Oneida Casino in Green Bay, Wisconsin, has been identified as the shooter who killed two people and injured a third on Saturday, before he was shot dead by police.
Brown County Sheriff Todd Delain at a news conference Monday identified the shooter as Bruce K. Pofahl, 62, a former employee at the Duck Creek Kitchen and Bar in the Radisson Hotel and Conference Center.
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.
