Convicted-felon-who-shot-dead-newlyweds-in-bar-admits-he-killed-them-for-less-than-$150
"The convicted felon who was detained in connection to the shooting deaths of Wisconsin newlyweds inside a sports bar has admitted to killing them to rob them of a paltry sum — taking off with less than $150 from the cash drawer, police said.
Thomas Routt Jr., 57, was charged with two counts of first-degree intentional homicide in the Feb. 1 shooting deaths of Gina Weingart, 37, and her husband, Emerson Weingart, 33, Elkhorn police said Friday.
The parolee with a long rap sheet told investigators that he opened fire at the Sports Page Bar, where Gina worked, intending to rob the establishment — and that he swiped between $120 and $140 from a cash drawer before fleeing in his vehicle to his home, police said."
