NIAGARA, Wisconsin (AP) -- Authorities were searching for a man wearing camouflage clothing and carrying a rifle on Friday after four people were shot, three of them killed, near the Wisconsin-Michigan state line.
Chief Deputy Jerry Sauve of the Marinette County Sheriff's Department said his office got a call around 6 p.m. Thursday of a shooting in the town of Niagara along the Menominee River.
Eric Burmeister, director of emergency management for Marinette County, said the first shooting happened about 5:30 p.m. and others followed. He confirmed that three people were killed and one was wounded.
The victims' identities have not been released.
Burmeister said the gunman, whom he described as a middle-age man wearing camouflage and armed with an assault rifle, was last seen in a wooded area near Niagara.
A command post was set up for state and other law enforcement personnel being brought in to help sheriff's officials investigate what Sauve called an "active shooter situation."
Niagara is located in far northern Marinette County, just across the Menominee River from Dickinson County in
