At least three people were killed and two more seriously injured in a shooting at a bar early Sunday in Somers, Wis., near Kenosha, the latest instance of gun violence in a nation where such bloodshed has grown wearyingly commonplace. “We believe our suspect knew who he was targeting,” Sheriff David Beth said during a news conference early Sunday, adding that it appeared that the gunman had been asked to leave the bar and later returned. He said that a handgun had been used, and that it was not clear whether there had been more than one person shooting. The victims were still being identified, but Sheriff Beth said that all three were men, two of whom died at the scene. At least two people with serious wounds were taken to hospitals, he said.
