CRANDON, Wis.


Nearly 50 contractors and other volunteers are nearly done with a memorial to the six young people who lost their lives when an off-duty sheriff's deputy opened fire at a house in Crandon.

The project's coordinator, Gary Mueller, says the stone gazebo and walkway should be done by Oct. 7, the second anniversary of the day the victims were killed.

Mueller says families of the victims have visited the volunteers, brought soda and otherwise given their support to the effort.

Tyler Peterson killed his former girlfriend, Jordanne Murray, and five others during a party at her home in Crandon on Oct. 7, 2007. Charles Neitzel was shot and wounded before Peterson killed himself.
