Oh No!! My son and family live in Brookfield.
I have people up there too. My sister for one. Any idea where in Wisconsin?
If you hear details, please post them.
bbl
Beat me to it by 50 seconds...
Apparently gunman shot himself too- no word on whether he survived.
All they said was Nothern Wisconsin.
Fox said Brookfield, Wisconsin.
OMG
Please keep us informed
Oh dear... Looking for more news.
A good distance north of Sheboygan, I hope. Not that I want anyone hurt.
Bummer. :(
Brookfield, WI a suburb of Milwaukee, at a Sheraton Hotel.
Ok, thanks. Isn't that just outside of Milwaukee?
Brookfield is a suburb of Milwaukee.
Does it seem odd to you all the high-profile shootings lately just as they are trying to reintroduce gun bills in the Senate?

Hoping they were nowhere near this mess.
Really! That's where my family lived (actually Elm Grove) when I went to H.S....now they're more spread around the area.
What could have happened...A business conference of some type? A family?
I just know when Fox did their GONG News Alert I thought it would be more on the Georgia story.
That's right next to a big mall, Brookfield Square.
