On the evening of May 1, 2021, a shooting at the Oneida Casino complex in Green Bay, Wisconsin, left 32-year-old Ian J. Simpson dead. Simpson, a White male, was shot at a waiter station inside the Duck Creek Kitchen and Bar, a restaurant located in the casino’s Radisson Hotel, and succumbed to his injuries. Another man, Jacob Bartel, 35, was also killed; a third victim, Daniel Mulligan, was shot outside and suffered serious but stable injuries.

The shooter, identified as 62-year-old Bruce Pofahl, was a former employee of the Duck Creek Kitchen and Bar who had been fired earlier in the year and was barred from the premises. Reports say Pofahl entered the restaurant armed with a 9mm handgun intending to target a female employee with whom he had a history of harassment and against whom a restraining order had been filed. Finding that woman absent, he opened fire on friends and coworkers.

Green Bay Police and other agencies responded; officers shot and killed Pofahl on the north side of the building. The Oneida Tribal Police Department and the Brown County Sheriff’s Office handled the homicide investigation, and the Wisconsin Division of Criminal Investigation took charge of the officer-involved shooting inquiry.
