A respected sheriff’s deputy, Tyler Peterson, shocked the small northern of Crandon, Wisconsin town after going on a killing rampage that left six young people dead.

The 20-year-old burst into his ex-girlfriend’s house early Sunday and shot six young people to death and critically wounded another. Among the victims was Peterson’s ex-girlfriend, 18-year-old Jordanne Murray, along with a group of her friends including Katrina McCorkle, 18, Leanna Thomas, 18, Bradley Schultz, 20, Aaron Smith, age not identified, and Lindsay Stahl, 14. Nineteen-year-old Charlie Nietzel was critically wounded.

Peterson was off-duty at the time of the shooting. He had a full-time job as a Forest County deputy sheriff, and a part-time job as a Crandon police officer. Peterson was shot and killed Sunday afternoon by a sniper after fleeing to the neighboring town of Argonne.
