CRANDON, Wis. (AP) -- Days after a shooting rampage left seven people dead, the northwoods city of Crandon is turning to planning for multiple funerals - and deciding what kind of memorial to place at the scene where six victims died.

The house is owned by Paul Murray, the father of one of the victims, and he wants it torn down.

Local church pastor Bill Farr says city officials and others are trying to decide what kind of memorial should go on that corner in this city of 2,000 people.

It will be in honor of the six who died and another who was wounded when 20-year-old off-duty Deputy Sheriff Tyler Peterson burst into a pizza party at his ex-girlfriend's home early Sunday and opened fire with an assault rifle.

Authorities say Peterson was cornered and wounded hours later before shooting himself to death.

A candle-lit procession held last night in honor of the victims attracted hundreds of participants.

They gathered in the center of Crandon and walked past the house where the shootings happened and on through town.

The first funeral will be held tomorrow.
