Spa Shooting Survivor in 'Good Spirits' as Auction Aims to Help Her

The public is invited to bid on auction and raffle items at all six All About Learning day care centers, all to benefit Courtney Felecia Buss, a preschool teacher who was shot in the Azana Spa tragedy.

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 …

Spa Stylist 'Took Bullet,' Died Saving Co-Worker's Daughter, Dad Says

The father of Maelyn Lind, 38, of Oconomowoc, said coworkers and police have told the family Lind jumped in front of Zina Haughton's adult daughter when Radcliffe fired his gun.

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 …

Actually, the Brown Deer officers did not show up either, so they don't get a pass for that. Here is the difference, the courts handle things substantially different with a "in custody" arrest as opposed to a referral. Because the subject was in custody, the process is accelerated, improving the chances of witness involvement in the process. Also, they denied themselves the opportunity to remove …   more ›

Nancy Hall, Here's the definition of infringe. "Act so as to limit or undermine (something.)" That's what it means, the Founding Fathers were quite literate. Notice the word LIMIT? And as far as the Militia goes, it has been understood for over 200 years that the Bill of Rights were written as "Individual" Rights. But here is a definition of Militia, just so you will understand. "I ask, sir, what…   more ›
