Police killed student outside Wisconsin school after reports of someone with a weapon, official says
Police shot and killed a Wisconsin student outside a middle school after receiving a report of someone with a weapon while class was in session, according to the state’s attorney general. No one else was hurt and the student didn’t get inside the building. An investigation is ongoing. MOUNT HOREB, Wis. (AP) — Police shot and killed a student outside a Wisconsin middle school Wednesday after receiving a report of someone with a weapon, the state’s attorney general said in the first law enforcement briefing on gunshots that sent children fleeing and prompted an hourslong lockdown of local schools. Authorities had previously said an active shooter who never got inside the building was “neutralized” outside Mount Horeb Middle School. State Attorney General Josh Kaul told reporters Wednesday evening no one else was harmed and that an investigation is ongoing. “This incident took place outdoors. The subject in this case never gained entry,” he said.
