The Dead

Terry Ratzmann's Victims

Randy L. Gregory, 50, Gurnee Ill.: Regional pastor of the Living Church of God. He traveled the Midwest serving several congregations.

James Gregory, 17, Gurnee: The pastor's son.

Harold Diekmeier, 74, Delafield: A native of Cudahy, the union carpenter moved to Delafield 11 years ago. His daughter, Sherry Koonce, who was not at the scene but is a member of the church, said her father was shot as her brother, Glen Diekmeier, also of Delafield, was delivering a "sermonette."

"Glen was speaking at the time, and he saw Terry (Ratzmann). He just ducked behind the podium. ... He apparently was shooting at the back row, and my father was sitting in the back row. He heard the pop and stood up," she said, citing her brother's account. She said that her brother, 51, and her father worked together doing maintenance work at developments in the southern lakes region.

Richard Reeves, 58, Cudahy: "I think Mr. Reeves probably took my bullet," said survivor Chandra Frazier of Oak Creek, who dove under his chair during the shooting.
