The sheriff's office took a call about shots fired at around 4 a.m. The home of the person who called 911 reportedly was shot at by the suspect. The first deputies found a man shot. As they treated him, someone started shooting at the deputies. The deputies shot and killed the shooter, Peter Joseph Wayne, 57. Police said one of the gunman's initial victims, Joseph James Spellman, 54, was one of the two dead, but it's not explicitly reported if he was alive when police were present.
