Mother: "An emptiness that'll never go away"
CRANDON, Wis. (AP) — The mother of one of the six young people killed in a shooting rampage by an off-duty deputy sheriff two years ago says she still feels an emptiness that will probably never go away.
Dianne Schultz joined others at a candlelight vigil on Wednesday marking the completion of a memorial built on the site of the murders to honor the victims.
Forest County Sheriff's Deputy Tyler Peterson killed her son, Bradley, and five others during a party near downtown Crandon. Hours later, Peterson killed himself in some woods north of town as law enforcement surrounded him.
Schultz says she misses her son and there's a void in her life but she has to go on for her other children.
Also killed were Jordanne Murray, Katrina McCorkle, Aaron "Chunk" Smith, Lindsay Stahl and Lianna Thomas.
