WITI-TV – An off-duty sheriff’s deputy killed six and critically injured one before a sniper fatally shot him Sunday. 20-year-old Tyler Peterson worked full-time as a Forest County deputy sheriff and part-time as a Crandon police officer.
One victim, 20-year-old Bradley Schultz, was a third-year student at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee who was home to visit his friends, said his aunt, Sharon Pisarek.
“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.”
