NEENAH, Wis. — The gunman in the shooting in Wisconsin on Sunday, shot four people at close range and then turned the gun on himself, police said at a news conference Monday.

The dead include 33-year-old Jonathan Stoffel and his daughter, 11-year-old Olivia Stoffel. His wife, Erin Stoffel, underwent surgery at Theda Clark Medical Center. She is listed in critical condition. The Stoffel family is from Neenah.
The shooter was identified as Sergio Daniel Valencia del Toro, 27, of Menasha. Menasha Police Chief Tim Styka said Valencia del Toro had "relationship issues."

He said Valencia del Toro and his fiance called off their wedding last week. Valencia del Toro rode his bicycle to the trail and walked past other people before opening fire. Police said Valencia del Toro did not talk to the victims before opening fire.

We kill a war's worth every year and not one fucking thing happens.

Maybe the cable companies could put up a channel "American Shootings Today" to highlight how bad the problem is.

but everything's set up precisely so that nothing so base as ISSUES or PROBLEMS get in the way of the money-in, votes-out machine

She even wrote a nice little note to him on his Facebook page, grieving his loss. Because that's far more important than the 3 lives he STOLE from total strangers.

I bet aside from the anger issues, the military background, and the guns.....he was a really nice guy.

isn't it? Isn't it? I mean, he was a "good guy" with a gun, wasn't he? I'm sure he was. I'm so so glad this country celebrates guns so so much. If we didn't, he might not feel the need to have a gun, and then where would we be?
