“It's unfortunate anytime events like this occur & sad when it hits so close to home.” “We have the smallest and closest community in professional sports,” LaFleur said. Packers head coach Matt LaFleur tweeted condolences Sunday to everyone affected by the shooting. Hill, the tribal chairman, told WLUK-TV that he feels security is tight in the casino but that the tribe may have to consider tougher protocols for the complex depending on investigators' findings.

That “brings every agency from around the area to the casino, to the Radisson,” he said of the large law enforcement presence. Pawlak said authorities called for a “tactical alert” after receiving the report of an active shooter. There had to have been 50 cop cars that came by on the highway. “We took off running towards the highway. “All of a sudden we hear a massive flurry of gunshots - 20 to 30 gunshots for sure,” Westphal told WBAY-TV. Gambler Max Westphal said he was standing outside after being evacuated from the building for what he thought was a minor issue. Hill reiterated that the tribe will conduct a security review at the casino complex.“Whether or not they all worked there, we’re still working on,” he said. They declined to discuss any specifics about the investigation but said law enforcement authorities planned to release identities of those involved on Monday morning. Oneida leaders said at a news conference Sunday afternoon they were “devastated” by the shooting. Tribal gaming in Wisconsin generated nearly $1.3 billion in gross revenue in the 2018-2019 fiscal year but suffered deep losses in 2020 due to COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns. Essentially, the tribes pledge a percentage of their gaming revenue to the state in exchange for the exclusive right to offer casino gambling. The Oneida is one of 11 tribes that operate casinos in Wisconsin under agreements with the state called compacts. “Those victims and families of those killed and injured will remain in my thoughts and prayers.” “My heart goes out to those impacted by the shooting, to the Oneida Nation and to all of Northeast Wisconsin as we continue coping with this senseless violence,” he said. Rob Cowles, a Republican who represents the Green Bay area, issued a statement saying the community has suffered a “traumatic event.” Republicans who control the Legislature refused to consider either measure.

He proposed a so-called red flag law that would have allowed judges to take guns away from peopled deemed to be a danger, and a bill requiring a background check for almost all gun purchases. Evers, a Democrat, called a special legislative session on gun control in the fall of 2019.
