The four people killed by a gunman Wednesday in the Wausau area have now been identified.
The state Department of Justice confirmed Everest Metro Police Department Officer Jason Weiland (pictured), a 15-year veteran of the department, was among those killed while responding to shootings reported at a bank and law office in Weston and the nearby town of Rothschild.
Also killed were 67-year-old Dianne Look and 62-year-old Karen Barclay at the Marathon Savings Bank in Rothschild, while 43-year-old Sara Quirt Sann, an attorney, was also killed.
The suspect in the shootings has only been identified as a 45-year-old man from the Village of Weston. He received a nonfatal gunshot wound and was taken to an area hospital, where he remains in police custody. The DOJ says the suspect was motivated by a domestic incident.
