MARINETTE, Wis. — The gunman charged Wednesday with killing three teenagers in a river ambush planned to use the victims as bait to lure emergency responders to the scene for him to kill as well, according to a criminal complaint.
Scott J. Johnson, 38, of Kingsford, Mich., had thought about committing a random shooting for the past four or five years and prepared by stashing weapons in the woods, according to prosecutors.
“His plan was to shoot anyone who showed up to help,” Marinette County District Attorney Brent DeBord said.
He finally decided to execute his plan last week after suspecting that a woman he had recently sexually assaulted would tell her ordeal to police, the complaint said.
