MADISON, Wis. (AP) - The family of a man killed after a gunman opened fire on a bike trail in an eastern Wisconsin city says he was a gentle person.

Thirty-one-year-old Adam Bentdahl of Appleton was killed on Sunday after police say military veteran Sergio Daniel Valencia del Toro opened fire on the path in Menasha. Jonathan Stoffel of Neenah and his 11-year-old daughter Oliva were killed, too. Stoffel’s wife, Erin, was wounded before del Toro killed himself. Police said del Toro was apparently upset over an argument with his ex-fiancee.

Bentdahl’s family said in a statement Monday they are saddened by his senseless death. They said he was a kind and gentle person with a bright personality. They added they’re praying for the Stoffel family as well as del Toro.
