Authorities said Bruce Pofahl, 62, had been fired from the eatery and banned from the property.

MADISON, Wis. — A man who shot and killed two people and wounded a third at a northeastern Wisconsin tribal casino restaurant before police killed him had been fired from the eatery and banned from the property, authorities said Monday.

The sheriff defended the officers’ decision to fire on Pofahl, saying “certainly this individual was a threat.” Oneida Chairman Tehassi Hill told WLUK-TV on Sunday that he was in “disbelief” and called the shooting “scary.” He said the tribe prohibits firearms on its properties but that “ kind of a regular thing in this country.”
