The man suspected of shooting up a Wisconsin spa, killing three women and injuring four others, later shot and killed himself, police said.
Authorities spent the afternoon methodically searching the Azana Salon & Spa in Brookfield, Wisc., in a hunt for Radcliffe Haughton, 45. The search of the 9,000 square foot, two story spa was hampered when authorities found what they believed was a bomb.
An urgent manhunt was launched for Haughton, but his body was discovered inside the spa, police said.
"The only individual we were seeking has been found and we believe him to be deceased by a self-inflicted gunshot wound," Brookfield Police spokesman Daniel Tushaus said.
The shooting erupted 11:09 a.m CT in Brookfield, and shortly after SWAT teams surrounded the spa with their guns drawn, preparing for a tactical situation.
Witnesses described screaming women, at least one bleeding, fleeing the spa, with one rolling down a slight hill before police scooped her up and got her out of the area.
A "be on the lookout" alert was issued for Haughton. Hours later, a black 2003 Mazda driven by the suspect was recovered outside of Brookfield, however police declined to say where it was found.
Authorities swarmed Haughton's home in the suburb, Brown Deer, and sent in a robot to search the residence, ABC News' affiliate
WISN reported.
