I started listening to this briefing late:

By Captain Phil Horter:

22 rounds shot, reloaded once(??!)

No clear motive. No suicide note.

Suspect: Terry Ratzmann 44 New Berlin

May have a list of names of victims by 2p today.

Another briefing tomorrow at 4p.

9mm handgun - There were questions about registration, reporters sounds surprised by lack of registration in Wis as in New York.

Search at his home: .22 cal rifle, no other handguns, did find remaining bullets for 9mm. Fired 22 rounds, 4 live rounds left in the magazine.

Fired from one mag, reloaded another mag and then took his life. (I really wish they would indicate how many rounds the clips held.)

Lived with mother and adult sister.

LEO/investigators took computers, box with remaining 9mm ammo, and .22.

Just walked into the room and began shooting.

Possibly currently employed but that employment was about to end. Was a contract employee.

Two issues: employment status, and something during a previous service where he left the service (later speaker says he was upset by something during the service and left).

Captain(?) Jim Adlam:

Call at 12:51, 12:54 arrived, for rapid shooter, secured for EMS 12:59 50 to 60 witnesses were still inside in hysterics. Set up perimeters. People were down in various areas of room. More witnesses were outside and brought back in.

Another speaker (missed the name):

Shirley and Cheryl (mother and sister) cooperative

Files in the computers are encrypted.

Thank you for that update.

It's a 9 mil, so the clip size could be as many as 17 rounds or so. Some are 15.

It is not the gun, but the clip that makes the difference, so news hounds will not have the clip capacity info until someone physically tries to see how many rounds will fit in the clip.(and that is not going to happen until later in the investigation)

Fired 22 rounds, 4 live rounds left in the magazine. Fired from one mag, reloaded another mag and then took his life. (I really wish they would indicate how many rounds the clips held.)

Assuming he used full factory magazines and started with an empty chamber, each magazine held 13 rounds (2*X-4=22). Since it's a 9mm, my guess is that the pistol is a Jennings/Lorcin/Bryco (same thing, related manufacturers), but it could also be a Browning HP, a Sig 228, or an H&K.

22 spent casings plus 4 rounds left = 26 rounds. 13 rounds + 13 rounds = 26. So, I'd say he used two 13 round magazines.
