Roundy's Shooter Identified As Wauwatosa Resident

WAUKESHA COUNTY, WI — Police say the man suspected of killing two workers Tuesday might at Roundy's Oconomowoc warehouse lived in Wauwatosa, according to Wauwatosa Police.

The suspect was later found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound in a crashed car in Milwaukee County, authorities said.
