A 57-year-old man in Wisconsin has been arrested and charged with killing a newlywed couple, gunning them down inside a local bar where the female victim worked as a bartender.

Thomas A. Routt Jr. is facing a spate of felony charges, including two counts of first-degree intentional homicide by use of a dangerous weapon, one count of attempted first-degree intentional homicide by use of a dangerous weapon, armed robbery, and being a felon in possession of a firearm, authorities announced.

As previously reported by Law&Crime, Gina Weingart, 37, and Emerson Weingart, 33, were killed just after midnight on Feb. 1 in the Sports Page Barr at 29 1/2 S Wisconsin Street in Elkhorn, Wisconsin.

According to a Thursday news release from police, there was only one other person in the bar at the time of the shooting.

“That eyewitness said a male, now believed by law enforcement to be Routt, came into the bar and began playing the gaming machines. After approximately 30 minutes, the eyewitness said it was just the eyewitness, Emerson (Weingart), Gina (Weingart), and Routt in the bar,” police wrote in the release.
