Some people believe time heals all; however, the small community of Crandon says they'll never forget.

October 7, 2008 marked the one year anniversary when six young people were killed and one seriously injured when Tyler Peterson, an off-duty sheriff's deputy opened fire, before taking his own life.

On Tuesday, the Crandon School District started school with a moment of silence and offered grief counseling to anyone who needed it. The superintendent says no one in the small school district was left untouched by the shootings. Of the 900-some students in his district he says 150 had some close tie to the victims.

And during this past last year, he has watched his students and faculty come together during the painful healing process.

Dr. Richard Peters says, "I think students are more sensitive to each other because of the great gift of life has become more precious to them. And they've gotten closer because they've had to work together and process their feelings together which brought them even closer."

Those victims who lost their lives were students or recent graduates of the Crandon School System.
