| Wisconsin authorities have released a photograph of a suspect in the shooting at a spa near a Milwaukee-area mall. Msnbc's Richard Lui reports. By M. Alex Johnson, NBC News New in this version: Three killed; explosive device hampering investigation; details on court orders Updated at 5:03 p.m. ET: A man who was ordered last week to turn over all his weapons in a domestic dispute opened fire Sunday at his estranged wife's workplace near Milwaukee, killing three people and injuring four others, authorities said. The suspect, identified as Radcliffe Franklin Haughton, 45, of Brown Deer, Wis., was still at large, said Brookfield Police Chief Daniel Tushaus, who said the investigation was being complicated by an improvised explosive device left at the scene. Police said the shootings began at 11:09 a.m. (12:09 p.m. ET) at the Azana Da Spa, across Moorland Road from Brookfield Square mall in Brookfield, about 10 miles west of Milwaukee. The mall was closed as SWAT team members scoured the area for the suspect. Froedtert Memorial Lutheran Hospital in Milwaukee, where the victims were taken for treatment, was on lockdown because the suspect was still on the loose. Haughton was described as an African-American male, 6 feet, 1 inch tall, weighing about 210 pounds and last seen wearing a grey sweater and carrying a white and black backpack. Police were surrounding Haughton's home in Brown Deer, about 15 miles north of Milwaukee, NBC station WTMJ of Milwaukee reported. Milwaukee County court records show that a temporary restraining order was issued Thursday against Haughton. A hearing was held that day, and Haughton was ordered to deliver his firearms to the sheriff and to have no contact for four years with the complainant or the residence. The complainant isn't identified in the court record. Other records indicate that Haughton was also charged with disorderly conduct in January 2011, a charge that was dismissed in June 2011 when a witness failed to appear in court. He had been ordered to stay away from his wife, Zina Daniel Haughton, and the family home. Zina Haughton has a state license as a cosmetology manager. Two workers at the salon said Zina Haughton was estranged from her husband. Brookfield, Wis., Police Chief Daniel Tushaus holds a news conference about the deadly salon shooting. Records suggest that Haughton had endured several years of financial problems, with a civil judgment for $19,000 in 2006 and a state tax lien for $5,000 in 2009. His home has been listed as for sale by owner. His former job, from 2003 to 2007, is listed in public records as general manager of a former Land Rover dealership in the Glendale area of Milwaukee County. Auto advertisements and business records list a man named Radcliffwe Haughton as sales manager at an auto dealership in Milwaukee. Calls to the dealership weren't returned.

A few minutes later, "about 10 people come running out of the building, screaming," Remshak said. "Everybody was just grabbing their hearts and covering their mouths and watching in fear," she said. It was the second mass shooting in the Milwaukee area in just 2½ months. A gunman opened fire at a Sikh temple near Milwaukee on Aug. 5, killing six people and wounding at least three others, before being shot to death. Three people were killed and a fourth was injured last week when a gunman stormed a hair salon in Casselberry, Fla. The gunman then killed himself. More content from NBCNews.com:
