Wisconsin spa shooter Radcliffe Haughton

Police have identified Radcliffe Franklin Haughton, 45, of Brown Deer, Wisconsin as the shooter who opened fire at the Azana Salon & Spa across the street from the Brookfield Square Mall in Brookfield, Wisconsin earlier today, killing three and injuring four others. Haughton is still currently at large and authorities are asking for the public’s help in locating him.

The Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Department shared the above photo of Radcliffe Haughton along with a physical descrtiption of him and the vehicle he may be driving. Haughton is 6-foot-2-inches tall and weighs 210 pounds, wearing a gray sweater and blue jeans and carrying a white and black backpack. He was seen driving a 2003 Mazda Protégé with license number 171-KZD.

From Waukesha.patch.com:

Police are asking anyone with information about Haughton or his whereabouts to call (262) 787-3701. Police are on the scene at Haughton’s home on Glenbrook Road. He is believed to also own a blue Honda motorcycle, license plate 3571J, and that has not been located.

Online court records show a restraining order being taken out on Radcliffe Haughton on Thursday. As a condition of the restraining order, Haughton was to turn over all weapons.

Here is a photo from a Google + profile for Radcliffe Haughton in which he appears to be holding some sort of weapon:

JSOnline spoke with Haughton’s father, Radcliffe Haughton, Sr., who says he just recently spoke to his son, and offered him a place to stay at his Florida home.

“I told him, whatever you do, don’t do anything stupid,” Haughton, Sr. said. “I am so saddened. I don’t know what to tell you. As his father, I am very, very sorry and I did not expect this from my son.”

From JSOnline:

His wife, Zina Haughton, has a beautician’s license and might have worked at the salon, Haughton’s father said.

The younger Haughton grew up in Wheeling and Northbrook, Ill., and spent four years in the Marines after high school. He later became a general manager of a Fields car dealership on Green Bay Road. He lost that job a few years ago, his father said, and might have been working in sales again.

This seems to line up with what an Azana Salon & Spa employee told Patch:

A spa employee told Patch the hair stylist has been having problems since she left her husband. The man is believed to have slashed car tires in the parking lot of the spa and the business recently put up signs on most of its doors warning employees to keep them locked at all times.

The employee who spoke to Patch said the woman’s estranged husband was out of work and his wife was working every day to bring in money to pay the bills. However, she recently decided to leave him, and that’s when the problems started.

The two have two daughters, ages 12 and 21, the Azana employee told Patch.

Three people have reportedly died and four others were injured in the shooting rampage.

ATF spokesman Thomas Ahern confirms to CNN that seven people were shot by a lone gunman at the Azana Hair Salon and Spa. “Employees said a man entered the salon, workers saw a firearm – a handgun of some sort,” Ahern told CNN’s Susan Candiotti. “An employee said to the gunman something like, ‘If you’re gonna rob the place, rob the place,’ and then (the gunman) opened fire.”

There are numerous reports that an improvised explosive device (IED) has been located inside the building and a bomb squad has been called to the scene. The potential explosive is hindering the process of clearing the building and hopefully locating Haughton.
