Sara H. Quirt Sann, 43, was a Wausau-area attorney and guardian ad litem who was shot and killed on March 22, 2017 while working at a law office in Schofield. The attack was part of a wider, targeted rampage tied to a domestic dispute involving a man named Nengmy Vang, who was engaged in contentious divorce proceedings with a woman Sara represented. Earlier that day Vang had confronted the estranged wife at a Rothschild bank and fatally shot two of her coworkers, Dianne Look and Karen Barclay, before coming to the law office and forcing an employee at gunpoint to lead him to Sara’s office, where he shot her.

After the killings Vang fled to an apartment in Weston, where he shot and killed Everest Metropolitan Police Detective Jason Weiland during a prolonged standoff with law enforcement. Vang was wounded in an exchange of gunfire, taken into custody and hospitalized, and died of his injuries on April 1, 2017. In response to the killings the Wisconsin legislature passed a bill known as Sara’s Law, making it a felony to harm or threaten lawyers and other officials for their work on family law cases.

If anyone has information about Sara’s life or the events of March 22, 2017 that could add to the record, please share what you know.
