Johnson's attorney says he may plead insanity.
Prosecutors say Johnson went to the Menominee River on July 31 and opened fire on a group of swimmers, killing three and injuring one.
He remains in jail in Wisconsin on a $3 million cash bail.
A preliminary hearing is for prosecutors to convince a judge that there is enough evidence to warrant a trial.
