US Cop on Shooting Rampage Kills 6 Teenagers
Three of the victims were students at the small town's high school, and three were recent graduates, a school official said. The gunman may have graduated from the same high school.
Peterson was not working at the time of the shooting, Sheriff Keith Van Cleve said.
The survivor was in critical condition Sunday night at a hospital in nearby Marshfield, according to a nursing supervisor. A Crandon police officer who fired back was treated for minor injuries and released.
Gary Bradley, mayor of the city of about 2,000, said earlier Sunday that a sniper killed the suspect, but Van Cleve would not confirm that officers shot the suspect.
Peterson was killed Sunday afternoon eight miles north of Crandon in the rural town of Argonne, Dennee said.
It wasn't 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. The shooting occurred in a white, two-story duplex about a block from downtown Crandon.
''It was a pizza and movie party,'' Dennee said.

''There is probably nobody in Crandon who is not affected by this,'' Peters said, adding that students would be especially affected. ''They are going to wake up in shock and disbelief and a lot of pain.''
