A man who shot and killed two people and wounded a third at a northeastern Wisconsin tribal casino restaurant had been fired from the eatery and ordered by a court to leave his former supervisor alone, according to court records.

Bruce Pofahl, 62, walked into the Duck Creek Kitchen and Bar in Green Bay on Saturday and shot Ian Simpson, 32, and Jacob Bartel, 35, at a wait station at close range with a 9 mm handgun as dozens of patrons looked on, Brown County Sheriff Todd Delain said Monday during a news conference in Green Bay.

The restaurant is part of an Oneida Nation hotel, casino and conference centre complex on the tribe's reservation just west of the city of Green Bay. The complex employs 150 to 200 people. Pofahl declined to attend a hearing on the order, saying in a note to the court that he suffered from high blood pressure and diabetes and was afraid he'd catch COVID-19 in the courtroom. A court commissioner granted the restraining order but did not prohibit Pofahl from possessing a firearm.

Walker wrote in her restraining order petition that the Oneida were aware of Pofahl's threats. The tribe's vice chairman, Brandon Stevens, declined to discuss what he called "personnel matters" during the news conference, saying investigators were still gathering information.Oneida Chairman Tehassi Hill told WLUK-TV on Sunday that he was in "disbelief" and called the shooting "scary.
