GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) — The body-worn camera footage, security camera footage, photos, and a myriad of other documents surrounding a May shooting at the Oneida Casino complex in which three people were shot, two of them fatally, has been publicly released.
The files can be accessed here, courtesy of the Wisconsin Department of Justice. They include a trove of photos and body-worn camera footage, the first wide release of such footage from the Green Bay Police Department.
In the footage, Bruce Pofahl, the 62-year-old man behind the shooting, can be seen wearing a grey jacket and black pants, wandering in the parking lot of the complex before heading inside to shoot and kill Jacob T. Bartel and Ian J. Simpson, both employees and former coworkers of Pofahl.
In security camera video from a nearby loading dock, Pofahl can be seen wandering towards a group of people. He can be seen shooting Daniel Mulligan, who appears to approach Pofahl, at close range. Mulligan, who survived, is blurred out in the footage.
Body worn camera footage from seven officers is included in the footage, including footage from the perspectives of Officer Ben Snyder and Sgt. Brian Jordan, who, along with Officer MaKayla Wolfe, were cleared in the shooting of Pofahl on Thursday. In Snyder’s footage, Pofahl can clearly be seen walking behind a set of electrical transformers right before officers open fire with semi-automatic rifles.

In the moments after Pofahl was shot, officers moved in to cuff Pofahl and start life-saving measures. Pofahl died at the scene.
Also included are pictures from the inside of Pofahl’s home.
Police say Bruce Pofahl was a former employee of the complex and had been banned from the grounds. A restraining order had been taken out against him by a fellow employee.
