CRANDON, Wis. AP – The residents of a remote northern Wisconsin community struggled to understand Monday how a sheriff’s deputy who killed six young people and critically wounded another could have become a law enforcement officer.
Tyler Peterson, 20, was shot to death after opening fire early Sunday on a group of students and recent graduates who had gathered for pizza and movies during their high school’s homecoming weekend. Peterson was off-duty from his full-time job as a Forest County deputy sheriff; he also was a part-time Crandon police officer.
