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!

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.

Guess you'll have to ask your dictator mayor.
Sounds like it may be over according to reply 89.

I don’t know. There is no way you can gag a small town though.

IF, and I say again IF a judge issues a gag order, violating it is simple contempt of court, and subject to the usual penalties for that.

A mayor, or a police chief does not have the legal authority to gag a private citizen.

They were hunting for the guy in the local area. Another Freeper noted that under these conditions it's quite proper for everybody around there to "shelter in place" because there's danger outside.

First things first Sherlock!

cover up or try to prevent the perp - who was at the time, still on the loose with a gun, from shooting more people? Most people who have just murdered a bunch of people isn't going to hesitate to shoot more -

But now, evidently, he is also dead - so all the arm-chair know-it-alls experts can relax...
