TOWN OF MENASHA, WI (WTAQ) - Just two days after four people, including the lone gunman, were killed in a random shooting, parks officials have reopened the scenes of the massacre.
Cleaning work wrapped up Tuesday afternoon at Fritse Park and the Trestle Trail, so Town of Menasha officials decided to reopen. They had hoped to allow the public back in by Wednesday.
People wanting to leave flowers or other memorials to the victims can do so in a small area of Fritse Park. There will also be memorials placed at the other end of the bridge in the city of Menasha. Officials are asking the public to place all memorials under the pavilion in the center of the trail.
On Sunday evening, Jon Stoffel and his daughter Olivia, along with Adam Bentdahl were gunned down. Jon's wife, Erin Stoffel, was wounded and remains hospitalized.
The gunman, identified as Sergio Daniel Valencia del Toro, turned the gun on himself. Police say he was apparently upset over his recently broken-off engagement to his girlfriend.
