Yes, but...the first 911 call was placed at 7:30 AM. Peterson was shot somehwere around 2 in the afternoon..in between he ate, napped and drove home to see his family and then returned to his friend’s house.

“Peterson showed up at Kegley’s home a few miles north of Crandon at about 7:30 a.m. Sunday and told his wife and their son - Peterson’s friend since childhood - what happened.

The family quietly called 911.

The Kegleys coaxed Peterson, a Forest County sheriff’s deputy and part-time Crandon police officer, into handing over his work-issued assault rifle - the weapon he said he had used in the slayings - and tried to calmly talk him into turning himself in.

Peterson said he wanted to talk to his mom and his grandmother and left the house, promising to return.

About an hour later Peterson came back. The Kegleys again called 911.

“We gave him some coffee and fed him,” Kegley said. “He wasn’t running around crazy or anything. He was very, very sorry for what he did.”

Peterson promised the Kegleys they were not in any danger but he refused to give up his pistol that he had tucked in the back of his shirt, Kegley said.

After about another hour or so, Kegley said he left his house to find out where the police were. His wife followed him a short time later. Their son refused to leave.

“He wanted to be his friend and try to help,” Kegley said.

Kegley owns a construction and roofing company based on his property. Several of his workers were there and also called 911 “many, many” times, he said.

After a while, Peterson climbed in the back of his pick-up truck and went to sleep. Workers again called 911. Still no law enforcement approached.

Kegley said his workers estimated Peterson slept for about 45 minutes and then woke up. By then dozens and dozens of officers, deputies and other law enforcement officials surrounded about 200 acres around the site and infiltrated the woods.

Somewhere around 2 p.m. Peterson walked off toward the woods. He got about 50 yards from the house and was shot, Kegley’s workers who witnessed the happenings, told him.

So another cop executed him, without a trial. Man they have a hell of a sheriffs office up there, how many times did they call 911. Out of the freaking world.
