12. Oh god. Family out for a walk on an uncommonly beautiful Sunday evening.

Randomly targeted. 5 and 7 year old son and daughter survived. 11 year old perished along with the father. Mother survived but is in critical condition. This family was from Neenah, which is the sort of sister city to Menasha. It is these two cities that the bridge connects. A 31 year old man from Appleton was also killed. All victims shot at close range.

Murderer was from Menasha. He rode his bike to the bridge where he passed several of the estimated 75 people at the park/bridge at that time before shooting 3 fifths of this family and the Appleton man. He was recently estranged from his fiance, I think within the last week.

The doctor said there was a holster on his right him and ammunition on his left when he was brought to the emergency room.

I didn't catch the whole conference so don't quote me on this.
