Honest Sarge! He shot himself in Head 3 times !

Deputy likely killed self with 3 shots to head - CNN.com

Quote:
A sheriff's deputy who killed six young people at a house party in Crandon, Wisconsin, apparently died after shooting himself three times in the head with a .40-caliber pistol, the state attorney general said.

Quote:
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.

~

Peterson was killed Sunday afternoon, eight miles north of Crandon in the rural town of Argonne, Dennee said.

Crandon mayor Gary Bradley said Sunday that a sniper killed the suspect, but Van Cleve would not confirm that officers shot him.
OK so I'm confused !
Was it "a sniper" that killed the suspect or did the suspect shoot himself three times in the head with a .40-caliber pistol ?

"The three gunshot wounds to the head included two nonfatal rounds with entry points below the chin, and one fatal shot that entered Peterson through the right side of the head," Van Hollen said.
He may well have done, scooter.

Still, am reminded of the monty python scene where it's claimed the dead man shot himself, then hid the gun.

Re: Honest Sarge! He shot himself in Head 3 times !

I dont know myself. But it is an entirely tragic situation. It doesnt matter at this end. He is dead. The idea of someone bursting into my house with an
AR-15 is a bit troubling, and I hope I would be able to respond to it, I doubt I would. What the end result is, the person who persecuted the crime is no longer there to account for thier crime. It is pointless to look for many answers because few exsist.

Used to be in the book of world records that a man was shot in the head 7 times and not only lived, but went back to his job within a year and lived another 12 years.

on Feb. 29, 1972, my best friend was a 7-11 clerk and shot 5 times with a .357 Mag. by a scumbag robber, twice in the head, twice in the chest and one in the crotch, he survived.., if you could call it that, i lost contact with him around 1994 and still living then.

An incredible story. I have carried a .357 on many occasions. The story you tell is miraculous. I wish your buddy nothing the best and good times in Vegas because he is the luckiest dude I have heard of.

Re: Honest Sarge! He shot himself in Head 3 times !

That being said, the first reports I heard of this story in the days afterward said that SWAT or police shot the suspect. How did this change all of a sudden?

I live in the middle of nowhere and am unable to open the link provided any update on the reality of that. All of my sources say it was a sniper that killed this person.

Re: Honest Sarge! He shot himself in Head 3 times !

Glocks are unsafe pieces of shit
Rugers and S&Ws are cheaper ( maybe ) and safer and as accruate and reliable.
in the same caliber

even though I personally prefer the Colt or Springfield arms 1911a1 in .45 auto

the cop in question apparently shot himself in the head 3 times before killing a bunch of other people , a neat trick to say the least.

Re: Honest Sarge! He shot himself in Head 3 times !

Er, he shot himself in the head AFTER he killed the other people.

Two non-fatal head wounds, followed by getting it right.

Yeah, if only he'd gotten the order right and started out the night by shooting himself in the head....

You are free to think anything you like. A Glock, or any firearm for that matter is only as safe as its operator. No problems from mine.

Yeah, its a shame it turned out how it did. Id rather him not shot those people. Very tragic, but Id rather have him alive to face trial and the rest of his life in prison where he could think about what he did in a blind rage.
