Those reports left the impression that the Mayor issued those decrees. Reasonable because I don't know who else would have such authority short of a military declaration of martial law.
Killing spree reported in small Wisconsin town

The Wisconsin town of Crandon is under lockdown after a suspect believed to be with the local sheriff’s office gunned down as many as six youths early this morning.
According to a FOX News report, the town’s mayor claims the town is under a “gag order” regarding the overnight event.
Well after the Red Lake(MN) massacre of 3-21-05, they shut down the cell phone network and closed off all the roads to the rez, so this stuff seems to be SOP. Kinda sinister, if you ask me. And no, it was not the mayor who ordered the gaq orders; my gut feeling is the crime scene was federalized almost immediately. Note the FBI was on scene even before the perp died.
“According to a FOX News report, the town’s mayor claims the town is under a “gag order” regarding the overnight event.”
Easy enough to circumvent if you want to...
Did you read you own link ?? "the town’s mayor claims the town is under a “gag order” regarding the overnight event." (& you know the media whores want ALL the news right now)
The Mayor just 'claims' the town is under a 'gag' & 'lockdown" (never says he ordered it) Truth is prolly the Mayor, local cops/deputies, & most of the citizens were all *expected* to follow these orders.
I don't know who else would have such authority
How 'bout "state officials" who were called shortly after the incident (& were there before daylight) or maybe the FBI, who has also been reported to be there.
Did you read todays update ???
Three-term Crandon Mayor Gary Bradley expressed anger and frustration at the state's handling of the case, complaining about a lack of information for officials and families and the length of time being taken in removing the bodies from the home.
When these small communities call for help from the "state officials", it's usually the "state officials" giving all the orders & making all the decisions as to the investigation......& I seriously doubt that any 'locals' were issuing "orders" to state officials/FBI.
Sounds like the Mayor might be a life-long area resident, just as upset about this crime (& it's handling) as ALL the residents are.
Yet, every post from you re: this Mayor says he's "POS", "dictator", and "The Mayor should be removed from office"...etc.
I questioned the 'mayor bashing' to both of you back in post 254, but never did receive a reply.
Maybe it's just me, but I can't see posting to such a tragic thread only to start criticizing so early on.
I thought this was a 'discussion forum', not a place to post accusations, without any facts.
and this will be day 4 since this tragedy, and very few facts have been released, yet.
