The husband of one of the four people fatally shot as a result of an apparent domestic dispute in northern Wisconsin is encouraging the community in general to come together to find strength and healing.
Scott Sann is the husband of Sarah Quirt Sann, an attorney who court records show was representing the wife of the suspect in a divorce proceeding. Sarah Sann was killed at a law office. Two others were killed at a bank and a police detective was fatally shot outside an apartment complex.
Scott Sann is the superintendent at Greenwood Hills Country Club in Wausau. In a letter posted on the golf course's Facebook page, Sann says the community must not give in to hate and anger and make judgments based on gender, race or religion.
Sann says his wife, as an attorney, fought for those who needed representation. Quirt Sann sometimes represented children as a guardian in divorce and child support cases.
