Detective Jason T. Weiland, a 40-year-old Caucasian man with 18 years of service at the Everest Metropolitan Police Department, was killed on Wednesday, March 22, 2017, while on duty. The violence began as a domestic-related dispute that escalated into a shooting spree across the Wausau area. A man later identified as Nengmy Vang first shot and killed two employees at the Marathon Savings Bank in Rothschild, Dianne Look and Karen Barclay, then killed an attorney, Sara Quirt Sann, at a law office in Schofield.

The rampage ended in Weston when Vang barricaded himself in an apartment. As officers, including Detective Weiland, established a perimeter, Vang opened fire and fatally struck Weiland with a bullet from a high-powered rifle. A prolonged standoff followed; officers returned fire, wounded Vang, and took him into custody. Vang died of his wounds on April 1, 2017, and investigators later concluded the officers who fired were justified.

Does anyone have memories of the area or knew Detective Weiland or the other victims and can share details that might help preserve their stories?
