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.
