Praise Chapel Community Church pastor Bill Farr says the father of victim Jordanne Murray owns the house but has vacated it since Sunday's shooting. Farr says the house is a symbol of violence and pain, and the owner wants it replaced with a memorial.

The shock of what happened in Crandon early Sunday morning is fading. The people of Crandon are more reflective Tuesday and are beginning to talk about the memories they have of the young people who died, and the personalities they will miss.

This after an off-duty sheriff’s deputy entered a post-Homecoming celebration pizza party and slaughtered six young people in Crandon early Sunday morning, leaving the tiny community in shock.

On a bench in the middle of town, a freshly painted bench carries a message for the mourning. Business marquees convey words of hope and coming together. These are silent signs of solidarity for the small town of only 2,000 people. Like the flags at the school and in front yards that fly at half-mast, Pastor Bill Farr, a spiritual leader in this aftermath says there’s already talk of a permanent memorial.

“It’s going to be a forever thing. These people and these families, this community is going to have to deal with this every year, holidays, birthdays, you name it,” Farr said.

Memorial services have not yet been set, as they bodies are being held until autopsies are completed.

“Next is the funerals. I’m pretty sure this town will be closed down and we will come together as a community, as a family, and we’ll grieve and we’ll mourn and we’ll comfort each other,” Crandon resident Ethel Gnacinski said.

Twenty year old Tyler Peterson went on a shooting rampage, killing three current and three former Crandon High School students during a movie and pizza party following homecoming events. Peterson was later killed during an exchange of gunfire with SWAT team snipers. Police Chief John Dennee says Peterson worked full-time for the Forest County Sheriff’s Department and part-time as a Crandon police officer.

The shootings occurred in a white, two-story duplex about a block from downtown Crandon.

Peterson initially fled from the scene following the shootings, but he was surrounded by police at a home north of Crandon early Sunday afternoon.

The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel says that home was the home of Mike Kegley who was a friend of Peterson’s. That friend told the Journal-Sentinel Peterson originally went to the white duplex to attempt to patch things up with his ex-girlfriend, but instead, they got in a fight.

Peterson told Kegley people in the house called him a “worthless pig” and that’s when he lost it. Kegley told Peterson to surrender and even called 911, but Peterson refused to turn himself in and was eventually shot by police.

The victims are: Katrina McCorkle, a senior at Crandon High School, Jordanne Murray, Tyler Peterson’s former long-time sweetheart who graduated from Crandon High School in 2006, Lianna Thomas, also a senior at Crandon High School, Bradley Schultz, a 2005 graduate of Crandon High School and a student at UW-Milwaukee majoring in criminal justice, Aaron Smith, a 2005 graduate of Crandon High School and Lindsey Stahl, a freshman at Crandon High School.

The lone survivor of the shootings is Charlie Neitzel. He has been upgraded from critical to serious condition at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Marshfield.

Raw Video: Sunday Afternoon Press Conference

In a press conference Monday afternoon, Wisconsin Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen said Peterson went to the duplex, retrieved a rifle from his truck, and fired 30 rounds of ammunition, killing six and injuring one. He then fled from the scene.

Authorities say Peterson later had phone conversations with them, including the police chief and tried to negotiate a surrender. He apparently issued several demands, but none of those demands could be met, according to authorities.

At the press conference, Tyler Peterson’s family issued a statement that was read by the family’s pastor. The statement said: "Our hearts go out to the victims, their families and friends," it said. "We are grieving for your losses. We are very sorry for what has happened, this huge tragedy has deeply affected everyone, including us. We also feel a tremendous amount of guilt and shame for the horrible acts Tyler committed."

It was not immediately clear what the gunman’s motive was, but the mother of a 14-year-old victim said the suspect may have been a jealous boyfriend.

Crandon Township supervisor Ray Statezny Jr. said the shooting was the result of a love triangle involving Deputy Peterson, a young woman and another police officer.

“All I really heard was that there was a shooting. Two officers were involved. The one officer that did the shooting was going with the one girl that got killed. Then they split up and this other officer started going with her,” Statezny said.

One neighbor said she heard the gunshots late Sunday night.

“I was lying in bed, wondering if they were gunshots. And then, I heard another succession of shots, sounded very close. These were probably close to my house, where the other ones seemed a little more distant,” the neighbor said.

The 14-year-old victim is Lindsey Stahl. Stahl’s mother, 39-year-old Jenny Stahl said Lindsey called her Saturday night and asked whether she could sleep over at a friend’s house. Jenny Stahl agreed.

“I’m waiting for somebody to wake me up right now. This is a bad, bad dream,” the weeping mother said. “All I heard was a jealous boyfriend and he went berserk. He took them all out,” Stahl said.

Lindsey was born in Kenosha but her family moved to Crandon because they wanted to raise her in a small town.

Bradley Schultz, another of the victims, who attended UW-Milwaukee and was majoring in criminal justice went back to Crandon to celebrate homecoming.

"We still don't have many details but from what they've told us, there was a girl next to him and he was covering her, protecting her," she said, sobbing. "He was loved by everybody. He was everybody's son. Senseless." Sharon Pisarek, Schultz’s aunt said.

People in Crandon can’t believe it.

Karly Johnson, 16, said that she knew the gunman and that he had helped her in a tech education class.

"He graduated with my brother," she said. "He was nice. He was an average guy. Normal. You wouldn't think he could do that."

Jenna Bradley, 16, said she was told about 10 people were at a party at the ex-girlfriend's apartment at the time of the shooting. She said she was shocked.

"It's Crandon. Nothing happens in Crandon, ever," she said. Justin Tokarczyk, 17, said he was angry that someone in law enforcement was involved.

"You figured he would be here for safety," Tokarczyk said. "I don't know how anybody could think about doing that."

As the town mourns, family and friends of the victims are trying to come to terms with the tragic shooting. Planning for funerals and memorials for the victims will likely start Monday. So far, those plans have not been made public.

Crandon schools are currently closed and will remain closed until Wednesday, according to Superintendent Richard Peters.

One mother is struggling to come to grips with the tragedy that took the life of her daughter and five other people.

“Cops are supposed to always protect ya, I thought. It’s one who took my daughter and how many other people’s lives,”

The question on everyone’s minds in Crandon is how an off-duty deputy could have opened fire in a house full of young adults and teens.

State Attorney General JB Van Hollen hopes to get some of those questions answered Monday. He’ll be in Crandon to discuss the case. Since the shooter was an off-duty deputy, the investigation will be handled by the State Department of Criminal Investigation. It’s unclear at this time what sort of background testing the shooter had to go through to become a deputy. It’s also unknown whether Tyler Peterson underwent psychological testing prior to joining the force.

Crandon is a town of about 2,000 people. It’s also the Forest County Seat and home of the World Championship Off-Road Races.
