ARTICLE SNIPPET: “”At least 5 killed in Wisconsin shooting rampage”(CNN) — At least five people were killed early Sunday morning in a shooting rampage in northern Wisconsin. The shooter — a county sheriff’s deputy — was later shot and killed, according to the Oconto County Sheriff’s department, WTMJ Newsradio reports.”

"A dispatcher for the State Patrol who declined to give his full name as a matter of department practice said several of the patrol's officers went to Forest County to help investigators because the suspect is an employee of the Forest County Sheriff's Department and a part-time officer for the Crandon Police Department." "It's a pretty tragic situation here," said Forest County Supervisor Tom Vollmar, who lives just outside Crandon, a city of about 2,000 people. "There are five or six people dead."

“CRANDON - An off duty deputy sheriff shot and killed six people in Crandon early this morning. That’s about 25 miles east of Rhinelander.

The deputy is Tyler Peterson. He fled from the scene, but he was surrounded by police, north of Crandon early this afternoon. Peterson is from Crandon. He was shot to death. It is not clear if he killed himself or if he was killed by a SWAT team.

The original shooting occurred at a home in Crandon about 3 o’clock this morning. Crandon township supervisor Ray Statezny Jr. said that the shooting was the result of a love triangle involving the deputy, a young woman, and another police officer.”

I hope I am not the first, but I have to comment on the jackass statement you made!

[Skywalk]

I’m sorry for your loss.

Not much more can be said in a case like this. Nothing excuses or mitigates what this scumbag did. That he took an oath to protect and serve and killed far more than just the target of his rage indicates he had a low character to begin with.

Thanks for the ping EEE. I didn’t have the radio or TV on today. This is horrific!

I’m following the updates.

Forum arguments
are different than saying
dead teens won't be missed.

Troll, go back to YouTube and trash Phillipino smut videos you jerk!

You came to the right place...

WI is a “no-CCW” state.

More proof that “only the police should be allowed to carry guns.”

According to what I’ve been hearing on da tube all day, the “advice” given to people was basically to cringe, cower, hide, and hope he doesn’t find them.

This is looking like a classic “Dial 911 And Die” moment.

Fox news cut to a program recorded from this morning. I don’t think they will cover the news conference, or not all of it.

Does anyone have a web feed to the news conference or a local channel that is covering it?

Stick a sock in it mayor, you worthless P.O.S.!

Pretty amazing how the LEO and local government covers their own behind!

Interesting so many on this mayor's case.

Believe me, "small town grapevines" can spread news faster than any wildfire......Had these been your relatives wouldn't you prefer "official notification" or calls from the local gossips ??

So far as the "lock-down"......first reports said this was a deputy, so was he 'hiding in plain sight' ??? maybe in uniform ??, driving a squad car, ?? one of the local reports also stated he had a police radio.

The news conference is started after the reptilian Nancy Pelosi's incredibly disgusting interview was mercifully over.

“Earlier in the day, Crandon Mayor Gary Bradley told FOX News that the town was under a “gag order” regarding the overnight event but no one in the town can leave church, home or anywhere else they happened to be Sunday morning.”

Wow, this Mayor is rather full of himself. How about some information for the local residents. Lots of witness’s at the party. It happened at 3:00 am CDT.

It looks like the shooter was an LEO and they knew who it was.

Just lockdown all of the sheeple and give them no timely information?

Not acceptable....

FNC just broke in and caught the END of the press conference.

[MinuteGal]

Fox did it again. By the time the reptilian Nancy Pelosi interview was over, the press conference was two seconds from over.

Thanks, Fox.

You can look around here. Sorry I can't do better than that right now....

[michigander]

Not acceptable....

You'll see that there are some here that disagree with that point of view.
