In an interview with BrookfieldNOW.com, owner Tami Gemmell said she saw no signs of trouble between Radcliffe Haughton and his estranged wife.
The owner of Azana Salon & Spa, where a gunman killed three people and injured four others before taking his own life last month, said she remembers shooter Radcliffe Haughton as someone who "seemed like a nice guy."
