Barron County Confirms Teen Shooter Dead After Attack That Injured Pregnant Girlfriend and Killed Her Brother

Police cite a Snapchat video of the aftermath as the reason for a platform takedown push that also led to school warnings.

Overview

  • The Barron County Sheriff’s Office said Monday that 17-year-old Marcus Hinojosa died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound days after the shooting.
  • Victim Makayla Sadowski, 17, underwent an emergency delivery; both she and her newborn are reported stable, according to authorities.
  • Her brother, 20-year-old Tyler Sadowski, was fatally shot as he tried to check on her during the incident, relatives said.
  • Investigators say the shooting occurred around 2 p.m. Wednesday inside an apartment on the 600 block of Candy Lane in Barron, where Hinojosa was already present.
