--"Shooter may be dress(sic) in military fatigues."
[now they say it was blue jeans and grey sweater]
--"Shooter had a machine gun - bystander tells WISN"
--"Suspect: Ethnic Male Bald 6'1"Gray Sweater, Blue Jeans w/ White Backpack. Driving a '03 Mazda Protege WI Plate: 171-KZD."
[If at this point they didn't know his name, and the vehicle wasn't found at the scene, how did they know what kind of car he owned?]
--"REPORT: Gunman may be carrying black & white backpack. Possibly contains guns & ammo, per scanner traffic"
[They haven't yet released any details on how many or what kind of weapons he used.]
--"U.S. Homeland Security official reports to scene of #brookfieldshooting, in support. Still not indication this is a federal case."
[It's sounding more and more like the feds have taken over this case.]
--"Cops going building to building near scene of #brookfieldshooting, getting video from business, in search of at-large shooter"
[0r maybe to prevent any release of any videos that show a cami-clad gunman fleeing the scene in a black Mazda.]
--"Per North Shore scanner: Haughton's motorcycle not in garage. 2006 Blue Honda motorcycle, license plate 3571J"
[So what happened to the bike? This makes it all the more unlikely the shooter would have called a taxi to get to the scene.]

Police acknowledged at a 3:30 p.m. press conference that they had still not cleared the entire building, and they asked the public for help in finding the suspect. Later, they said the slow progress was the result of the fire, and the nature of the spa, which Tushaus estimated was about 9,000 square feet. A reception desk is directly inside the entrance of the building. To the left are hairdressing stations, with a waiting area for customers to the right. Pedicure stations are behind the reception desk and a large, curving staircase leads up to a second floor that is dimly lighted with multiple small rooms for spa treatments and massages.

Brookfield Police Chief Daniel Tushaus confirmed late Sunday Haughton's body was found in a section of the building that was the last to be searched and where police had found what they believed was an improvised explosive device, WISN-TV said.

In 2005, less than a mile away, a gunman killed seven people and wounded four more at a church service at the Sheraton Hotel. Terry Michael Ratzmann, the 44-year-old gunman, then committed suicide.
