2 Killed, Gunman Slain In Shooting At Green Bay Casino

Sunday, May 2nd, 2021 -- 6:51 AM

Authorities said a gunman killed two people at a Green Bay casino restaurant and seriously wounded a third before he was shot and killed by police Saturday night.

Brown County Sheriff’s Lt. Kevin Pawlak said investigators believe the gunman was targeting a specific person that he was angry at, but the person wasn’t at the Oneida Casino at the time. Pawlak said it appears the gunman "decided to still shoot some of the victim's friends or co-workers." 

Patrons fled the casino after gunshots broke out around 7:30 p.m. A witness said he saw two people get shot and described a gunman as "shooting pretty aggressively."

Shortly after the incident began, the Oneida Casino in Green Bay tweeted Saturday there was an active shooter at the casino.

Spokesperson Bobbi Webster said people had been cleared out of the casino. One evacuated gambler said he heard 20 to 30 gunshots coming from inside the casino as he ran away.

Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul tweeted shortly before 10 p.m. that the scene “is contained" and the community is no longer under threat.

Green Bay police, Wisconsin State Patrol and the Brown County Sheriff’s Office responded to the incident.

The Oneida Casino also tweeted that all locations would be closed until further notice. (Wisconsin Public Radio)
