MILTON, Wis. (AP) -- A Milton police sergeant says that, if a 22-year-old man hadn't been severely burned in the explosion and subsequent house fire that destroyed his family's home in April of 2006, he likely would have gone on a killing spree.
>
Sergeant John Conger says that Daniel Kerr told him and a neighbor that he had killed his parents and set fire to the home.
>
Conger says that he believes Kerr's plans that night were to lure the police back to his house after he had killed his parents, and then kill the responding officers.
>
The sergeant says he thinks Kerr would have either shot officers upon arrival or waited until they were near the house or in the house and then ignited the gasoline.
>
Kerr's parents, Kevin and Edith, already had been shot to death in their bed when the house exploded.
>
Daniel Kerr, who was a University of Wisconsin-Whitewater student, died ten days after the incident.
