Friday morning, deputies raised a flag outside the El Paso County Sherriff's Office. There was a six-minute moment of silence, one minute for every year he served El Paso County.  Deputies then lowered the flag so it can be draped on Peery's casket.

An outpouring of flowers and letters covers Deputy Peery's cruiser. Peery's funeral will be Monday at New Life Church in Colorado Springs and is open to the public. The other victim who died last Sunday is reportedly the suspect's wife.
