The Forest County Potawatomi Tribe of Wisconsin closed its casino for a few hours on Friday morning after a shooting on the gaming floor. The shooting occurred around 2:30am, the Potawatomi Hotel and Casino said on a Twitter. No one was wounded by gunfire but some people suffered minor injuries while trying to leave the floor, the facility said. A 38-year-old is now in custody in connection with the incident, according to news reports. The casino reopened at about 7:30am. "The casino is working with local authorities in investigating the incident," a post on Twitter stated. In June 2013, a patron was injured after someone opened fire at the casino, which is located in Milwaukee. Get the Story:
