Unknown person opened fire at a tavern in southeast Wisconsin overnight, killing three people and seriously wounding two others, the Kenosha County sheriff said on Sunday.

Sheriff David G. Beth stated that a gunfire broke out both inside and outside the The Somers House tavern around 12:40 a.m.

Furthermore, investigators are calling on the public to help in finding the shooter (s) who killed the three people at The Somer's House tavern.

"It sounds like one person got removed from the establishment and possibly came back a short time later" and started shooting, Beth revealed.

The sheriff mentioned that it was not clear exactly why that person was removed, or whether there was one or more shooters. He asked anyone with information to contact authorities.

"We don't believe this was a random act," he said. "I don't believe that the people in this area are in harm's way because of the suspect still not being captured."

About 100 officers from multiple agencies "are scouring the area trying to come up with any video footage and anything that can help us at the scene right now," the sheriff noted.

CNN reported that the United States had suffered at least 47 mass shootings since March 16, when eight people were killed at three Atlanta-area spas.
