NIAGARA, Wisconsin (AP) -- A dragnet ended Friday with the arrest of a man accused of emerging from woods in camouflage and opening fire with an assault rifle on a group of young swimmers who had gathered at a river. Three were killed and another wounded.
Scott J. Johnson, 38, was in camouflage as he walked out of some woods near the scene of the shooting and dropped his weapon as officers approached, said Jerry Sauve, chief's sheriff's deputy in Marinette County.
Johnson had not been formally charged and it was not immediately known whether he had an attorney.
"We believe he was in the woods and near our officers who were also in the woods all night," Sauve said at a news conference.
