(GREEN BAY, Wis.) — Three people were shot to death, including the gunman, and one person was critically wounded after police responded to an active shooter situation at Oneida Casino in Wisconsin on Saturday night.
The initial incident started at the Duck Creek restaurant at the main casino located in Green Bay, near Austin Straubel Airport.
Lt. Kevin Pawoak and Chief Joel Maxam of the Brown County Sheriff's Office held a press conference a few hours after the shooting and said that some victims were shot inside the Radisson Hotel that is connected to the Oneido Casino.

Officials said investigators would likely be working at the casino collecting evidence into Sunday night.
The names of the gunman and the victims are not being released until notification is made to relatives, the sheriff's department said.
Authorities confirmed that every agency within Brown County responded to the scene, including local fire departments and rescue squads, and that DCI was also assisting along with the FBI.
Pawoak and Maxam suggested that there is some possible relationship regarding employment with the shooter during the press conference but did not elaborate.
No information on the kind of weapon that was used in the shooting was given but the target was believed to be an employee. It is currently unclear if the shooter was an employee or had a personal relationship with the employee in the restaurant.
Police say the casino was immediately cleared out and that witness statements are still being taken.
The sheriff's department asked that anyone who witnessed the shooting to contact homicide detective immediately.
