Gov. Scott Walker is proposing a law that would monitor domestic abusers with GPS devices.
Zina Daniel’s family believes that GPS monitoring on domestic violence abusers could have saved her life. Days after hairstylist Zina Daniel Haughton obtained a four-year restraining order against her husband she planned to divorce, he stormed into the upscale Azana, killing her and two of her co-workers and wounding four others before killing himself. Elvin Daniel, Zina’s brother, has been pushing for use of a GPS monitoring device that would alert a domestic violence victim when the abuser is nearby or is about to violate the restraining order, reported Patch media partner WISN. Gov. Scott Walker has included the $3 million proposal as part of his budget, which needs to be reviewed by lawmakers.

Nearly six weeks after a mass shooting, fire and sprinkler damage physically ruined Azana Salon & Spa, the shop will reopen Saturday with a renovation that includes tributes to the three women who died.
From chaos to tranquility, damage to repair, old to new. At the foot of Azana Salon & Spa's main doors that Radcliffe Haughton entered and unleashed a deadly mass shooting six weeks ago now lies a granite plaque honoring the three women he killed. In memory of Zina, Cary & Maelyn Oct. 21, 2012 We miss you Those doors will reopen for customers Saturday morning for the first time since the tragedy. Inside the doors, just off to the side, hairstylist Zina Daniel Haughton's chair and station have been replaced with a small table and chairs, a white candle and a vase that will forever hold three yellow roses. Three to represent Zina, Cary Robuck and Maelyn Lind. The same for a trio of white fluffy pillows on the couches. They are subtle touches…

At three years old, the day care children really don't understand what happened to their teacher, Miss Courtney. They just know her leg was hurt but it's getting better and they helped her by doing what they could to help set up a center raffle and auction. The auction — which is open to the public through Monday and features coveted items like a shovel autographed by the "grave digger" former Green Bay Packer Gilbert Brown — is boosting the spirits of Miss Courtney, 22, who was one of the survivors of the Azana Salon & Spa mass shooting. Courtney Felecia Buss, a preschool teacher at All About Learning in Oconomowoc, also worked as a receptionist at Azana. She called the day care center on Monday, Oct. 22 to let them know she was at …

The beauty salon community has rallied around a Brookfield spa struck by a mass shooting in a way rarely, if ever, seen by other industries hurt by workplace violence. More than 115 salons in Wisconsin — plus at least eight other states — stepped up to participate Tuesday in a "Cut It Out" event to raise awareness of domestic violence, the root of the Oct. 21 tragedy at Azana Salon & Spa across from Brookfield Square mall. Days after hairstylist Zina Daniel Haughton obtained a four-year restraining order against her husband she planned to divorce, he stormed into the upscale Azana, killing her and two of her co-workers and wounding four others before killing himself. There's something about the nature of salons — to pamper and care for …

A charity auction was held at 8-Twelve MVP Bar & Grill in Brookfield to benefit the children of the women killed in the Azana Salon & Spa shooting.
Updated Tuesday: Today's TMJ4 says between tickets and the silent auction, 8-twelve's fundraiser raised more than $60,000 for the families of the who died in the Azana spa shooting. ______________________ A packed house at 8-Twelve MVP Bar & Grill in Brookfield Monday night raised $20,000 just in tickets — plus more from rare finds in a silent auction, such as Aaron Rodgers game-worn playoff cleats. And it was all primarily for eight people, namely the children of three mothers slain in the Oct. 21 tragedy at Azana Salon & Spa in Brookfield. Photos of the three women who worked at the spa reminded the 200 who paid $100 a piece to get in just why they were supporting the cause. Candles flickered near the photos and remembrances of Zina …

The newly opened Culver's in Elm Grove — around the corner from Azana Salon & Spa — was hopping Thursday after announcing it will donate 100% of its Thursday sales to the families of women killed in the spa shooting.
At lunch time Thursday, the drive-thru lines for the newly opened Culver's in Elm Grove were so long, cars backed out onto Bluemound Road. And inside the restaurant at dinner time, the place was packed. Why? The community rallied behind Culver's and its generous offer to donate 100% of all sales all day Thursday (10 a.m. to 10 p.m.) to the Azana Salon & Spa benefit fund for the children of the women killed in the spa shooting Oct. 21. Customers tried to eat quickly to give up their tables for more customers. Families waited patiently a few extra minutes as a bolstered staff worked quickly to deliver all orders. And while they waited, they could also buy raffle tickets organized by Red Oak Counseling of Elm Grove, who received a table full …

Criminologists, agents already looking at how Radcliffe Haughton fits into a pattern of rising workplace violence – and an eerily similar case last week in Florida.
Within hours after Radcliffe Haughton shot and killed three women and wounded four more in a Brookfield beauty salon before taking his own life, criminologists and federal agents were looking at the case as it fits into a rising tide of workplace slayings — and as a possible copycat killing. Larry Barton, the leading adviser to the FBI on workplace crimes, said he and the federal crime agency are looking into whether Haughton might have been “inspired” by a shooting Thursday that killed three women in a beauty salon in Casselberry, FL, a suburb of Orlando. The killer in that case also was the estranged husband of a salon stylist. She was also shot, and her husband then turned his gun on himself, hours before an injunction hearing. The …

Keith Hanson had watched his daughter, Maelyn Lind, fight her way through financial trouble and work three jobs to support her four children. He had seen her inner strength and compassion. So Hanson wasn't surprised when he learned from coworkers and police that his daughter, 38, had risked her own life to save a fellow Azana Salon & Spa employee from a gunman. He believes that fellow employee was Yasmeen Daniel, the daughter of Zina Haughton, 42, the principal target in Sunday's shooting and Lind's close friend. "Maelyn had stepped in front of the gun and took the bullet when he was going to shoot her," Hanson told Patch on Monday. "My daughter is an angel," he said, his voice choking with emotion. "She took a bullet for her friend’s …
