Gunman Kills 3 People, Then Takes his Own Life
Early Sunday Morning, a gunman, Sergio Valencia Del Toro, 27, opened fired on the Trestle Trail Pedestrian Bridge in Menasha, Wisconsin, taking three lives. One of the victims was a 31-year-old father, Jonathon Stoffel, who died next to his 11-year-old daughter, Olivia Stoffel. The other victim was Adam Bentdahl, 31, who was an Appleton and unrelated to the others killed. All of the victims were unknown to Toro. The wife/ mother, Erin Stoffel, was shot three times, after successfully saving her two other children, Ezra, 5-year-old, and Senah, 7-year-old. She even prevented any other attacks, by instructing her daughter to find help. Within minutes, police authorities arrived at the scene. The gunman killed himself, before police could get to him. The mother is in critical condition in the hospital. A fundraiser was held for the family, and over 75 thousand dollars was raised. Toro was infuriated after getting in a heated fight with his ex-fiance, then proceeded to kill as many people as he could on the bridge, before turning the gun on himself, and taking his own life.
