BROOKFIELD , Wis. Police in Wisconsin searched Sunday for a man suspected of killing three people and wounding four others in a shooting at a spa in suburban Milwaukee.

After the shooting, police said an improvised explosive device was found at the spa and a bomb squad is investigating, but they did not indicate whether the suspect ever tried to set the device off.

Police have released a photo of the suspect, identified as Radcliffe Franklin Haughton, 45, of Brown Deer. They said he was still at-large and the public's help was needed in tracking him down. Police said Haughton may be wearing a grey sweater, blue jeans, carrying a white and black backpack. Haughton's black 2003 Mazda was found some time after the shooting.

The shooting occurred about 11 a.m. Sunday at the Azana Day Spa, a two-story, 9,000-square-foot building across the street from the Brookfield Square Mall in a middle- to upper-class community west of Milwaukee.

Haughton's father, Radcliffe Haughton Sr., who lives in Florida, told CBS News that the alleged shooter's wife is Zina Haughton, and she works at Azana.

Haughton Sr. said he knew they were having problems and that Zina had taken a restraining order out against him last week in court, something court records in Wisconsin appear to confirm.

Froedtert Hospital has told CBS News that four on-critical patients have already arrived, and they are expecting another three patients to arrive.

The mall and a county club adjacent to the spa were locked down, local media reported, and the bomb squad is on the scene.

CBS Affiliate WDJT is reporting that Froedtert Hospital is also on lockdown.

Milwaukee FBI spokesman Leonard Peace said its SWAT team, hostage negotiators and others were helping with the response. But he declined to say how many FBI personnel were involved in all or provide details on what had happened.

Robert Schmidt, spokesman for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, said it had 10 agents participating.

Beth Strohbusch, a spokeswoman for Froedtert Memorial Hospital, said four shooting victims were taken there, and three more were expected. She said none of the four already received were in critical condition.

Tactical teams were on the scene, along with at least 20 fire, ambulance and police vehicles. A medical helicopter was on the ground.

It was the second mass shooting in Wisconsin this year. Wade Michael Page, a 40-year-old Army veteran and white supremacist, killed six people and injured three others before fatally shooting himself Aug. 5 at a Sikh temple south of Milwaukee.

The shooting at the mall took place less than a mile from where seven people were killed and four wounded on March 12, 2005, when a gunman opened fire at a Living Church of God service held at a hotel.

Where was bmallen3 and his .44 magnum? Why didn't he protect these people?

[rwsmith29456]

Explosive devices are already outlawed but he could have killed a lot of people with that alone, like McVeigh did. In fact I see several mass murders by arson. Several have killed planeloads of people by causing them to crash. Others bombed planes and other have had the passenger cabins set afire. Causing train derailments. How about cars running into crowds of people. One guy killed 18 people that way another woman killed 6. In Austin a guy flew his plane into a building. Why don't we outlaw planes, trains, cars and matches?

If what the article says is true then why didn't the police seize his weapons after the restraining order was taken out ?

[msannomalley]

The way the law is enforced in regard to protection orders and weapons is that it works on the "honor" system. They're trusting these people to voluntarily turn in their weapons after being hit with a restraining order. It could be because they lack the manpower or the money to hire people to enforce this. Or someone who wrote this law is really dumb enough to think that a person who is already violent is going to voluntarily give up his weapons.

Radcliffe Haughton is like Wade Page. Both felons believed in domestic terror and mass murder. Terrorists within this country recruit followers to commit heinous atrocities against innocent Civilians. They preach that this kind of killing discourages disrespect for the environment.

"You can have my gun when you pry it from my cold dead hands...of course after I've shot up a movie theatre,a McDonalds and a day spa"!!

Famous words of NRA spokesman and true patriot Charlton Heston.

[LissaKay]

Can you describe a gun law that would have prevented those incidents from happening?

[hypnotoad72]

*sigh*

It just gets worse and worse...

[Dr_Pangloss]

Another case of guns making us all safer.

[LissaKay]

Can you describe the gun law that could have prevent this from happening?

[Shelama]

Thankfully we are getting closer to accepting the fact that these shootings, like Columbine, WVa, Tuscon, and Aurora, etc. in the past, and a never-ending stream of similar mass shootings and murder, as just the acceptable price that we pay for the 2nd Amendment. They are acceptable losses and acceptable deaths.

So get over it and move along.

This message approved by the NRA and the 2nd Amendment.

so you belave in Guns ,before people sad to see ye donot belave in the Bilbe do not kill =Guns are only for killing

[colum1948]

ye mad people ye do lover Gun,why not people

[Mjones301]

Wow.

The article says it is a dark skinned man, and suddenly all the racists flood CBS.
I don't remember anyone bringing up race when the every other masss shooting was committed by white males.

Disgusting.

[askagain]

Mjones301 - You have a real problem. Look at the photo of the suspect. He certainly appears to be Afro-American. Skin pigmentation is a distinquishing characteristic used to identify all of us. If you were robbed by a white person, wouldn't you tell the police that the robber was white? Why shouldn't the media describe a person's race? We are what we are.
