Per press conf- Peterson came in to apartment and got into argument with people inside..went out to his vehic and came back in with gun- shot 30 rounds...left. While driving around he got on phone with police chief and said he did it- eventually he and cops ended up at a house several miles away- gunfire was exchanged and Peterson then died. Autopsy will determine if he died from self-inflicted or police gunfire..
-What- are you listening to?
So I’ve heard.
My point is that nobody ‘just snaps’. Thats a time honored myth thats been debunked by experts for years.
Watch and see what comes out about the killer in the next few days and weeks.
I’m just guessing but I figure they thought he might take hostages. Stuff like this only happens rarely. They had 3 officers for the town. Was that counting him and the dead cop? Maybe they were waiting for re-enforcement. Whatever they did worked though. This guy was surrounded. No one else got hurt and it seems they took him out when they got a clear shot. It may have taken a long time but they did a good job IMO.
