The father of the man suspected of shooting seven people at a Brookfield spa Sunday morning said his son asked to stay with him in Florida after the suspect's wife got a restraining order against him last week.
"He told me, 'I have to get out of Wisconsin,' " said Radcliffe Haughton Sr., who spoke with his son, the suspected gunman, Radcliffe Haughton, last week on the phone.
Police are still searching for the younger Haughton, who they say shot seven people - killing three - around 11 a.m. Sunday at the Azana Salon & Spa on Moorland Road.
Reached at his home in Florida, Haughton's father had not heard about his son.
"So he hasn't been apprehended? Oh Lord. Have mercy, God," he said.
A restraining order was issued against Haughton on Thursday in Milwaukee County Circuit Court.
I can't believe he was black.
