MIDDLETON, WI (Wisconsin Radio Network) – The Dane County Medical Examiner has identified the suspect killed in the Middleton shooting as 45-year-old Anthony Y. Tong of Verona.
Middleton police chief Chuck Foulke said Thursday that Tong’s motivations remain a mystery.
“I can tell you that a motive hasn’t been determined yet,” Foulke said. “The investigators are still digging for that. Obviously, that’s the thing that’s on the top of everybody’s mind.
Tong was fatally shot by police officers and sheriff’s deputies who responded to the scene at mid-morning Wednesday at the office of a software company.
Dane County Sheriff David Mahoney says a quick response and good training paid off.
” Law enforcement in Dane County responded to this incident, and immediately their training kicked in, they assembled an entry team and within minutes ended the situation. It was because of that training that we have practiced for years, lives were saved.”
Three people were shot.
One is in stable condition, the two others in serious condition at UW Hospital in Madison.
Police said Tong had been employed at WTS Paradigm since April of 2017.
Employees of the office building at 1851 Deming Way are being allowed back in today to retrieve items like personal belongings and their vehicles.
