MILWAUKEE — A woman said a man suspected of opening fire on a group of young adults, killing three, had raped her the night before in the same northern Wisconsin woods where the victims were slain.
The woman said she told her parents about the assault, and they reported it to authorities. She said officers came to her home late Thursday, mentioned the shootings that occurred earlier that day along a riverbank in the town of Niagara — near the same spot where she claimed to have been sexually assaulted — and asked her to describe her attacker.
The suspect, Scott J. Johnson, 38, whom the woman described as a casual friend, was arrested Friday after he emerged from the woods following an all-night manhunt.
