The town is very small but it was basically one street up from main street and in the center of town. Its still so surreal to me and still sinking in that this is really here happening in our close knit town.
This site is very cool and I am glad to have found it. (wish I found it a different way though) I am so sick of reading news twisted or important parts completely left out by the media. It is nice to get the TRUTH from people who are actually there and do not sugar coat or alterior motives for saying what it is going on. I will definitely be staying. And thanks for all of the welcoming.
Sounds like a righteous shoot to me! :^)
Thanks, MRadtke
Welcome to FR.
Sorry you found it this way too.
Like I said, it doesn’t sound like any such attempt at justification is forthcoming. As of now, I’m trusting the department he works for, which is not suggesting any possibility that the shooting was a justifiable part of his law enforcement duties. If any info about a possible justification subsequently comes out, I’ll give it due consideration. There is a slim possibility that initial reports are wrong, and that someone at the drunken bash fired on him or otherwise seriously attacked him and that the party-goers were ganging up on him, and he started shooting in self-defense. I doubt it, but given that we have only a few hastily released “facts” about the circumstances, I’m not quite ready to send him to the electric chair. More likely, I expect I’ll end up wanting him to get the chair, and also wanting somebody who was in charge of him taking the rap for not acting on previous signs that he was mentally unstable. It’s doubtful this guy was known as an angel right up until early Sunday morning.
A gag order on the entire population of the town? I think it’s probably more like a request.
Bet NorthwoodsGirl and mrsjeades didn't kinow they elected a dictator for mayor and the "gag order" doesn't appear to be working very well.

looks like you won’t have to....
Wintesses: 6 Dead, Including Sheriff’s Deputy
Brian Tully
CRANDON - Police and the FBI just found a Forest County Sheriff’s employee dead. They think Tyler Peterson, an employee of just one week, opened fire at a party late last night. According to witnesses, 6 people are dead, though law enforcement has not confirmed any deaths.

The local deputies are hardly the dregs of society ~ this is a well-paying, regular, with-benefits job out in the Wisconsin North Woods.
"Peterson" is a fairly common name in Scandinavian areas ~ so with the logging I'm just guessing we have some folks whose grandparents and greatgrandparents came from Sweden and Finland, plus 7% of them are Indians. The Potowatami Nation has its court in this town.
A little alcohol, a couple of people with livers not in tune with that substance, and bingo.
:-(
“You managed to not call me...”
However, you are guilty of splitting infinitives. Stop it!
“There is a slim possibility that initial reports are wrong”
Granted.
“I’m not quite ready to send him to the electric chair.”
Of course not. Due process and all that.
So what happens if there is a gag order and someone breaks that....I mean what can they really do. And seriously why are they being so secretive and trying to cover things up. They have had the dead bodies now for almost 12 hours and they havent notified even the families!??? I think it is about damn time they tell the families about their children so they can start grieving for gods sake!
Screening process malfunction.
A post in a box from a head in a box.
Crandon City Council Member Paul Wagoner said area residents were sharing information about the deadly shootings and the victims’ families had congregated in a local church, The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported.
“Being that it’s a close town, it’s going to affect nearly everyone,” he said.
You are remarkably callous.
When I saw the post about him making “goodbye’s” I figured that was how this would end.
