Authorities described the student as a juvenile male but did not provide further identification or specifics pending an investigation
Wisconsin police shot and killed a student who officials say came to a local middle school with a gun. The student never got into the school, but as a precaution the entire district was put on a lockdown late Wednesday morning.
Students have since been reunited with their parents, some of whom waited up to five hours for their children to be dropped at a bus storage center in Mount Horeb, a village about 20 miles south-west of Madison, the state capital, according to WMTV 15 news.
No other students or staff were injured in the shooting, Josh Kaul, Wisconsin’s attorney general, said during a Wednesday news conference.
Depends how you think about it. Out in the more rural parts of America there’s gun safety education and target practice shooting where guns are provided to kids under supervision for extra circular activities and no one even questions it. Those are generally not the schools that make the news though. All provided within the public education sector and at schools.
Yes, if your an American your taxes may have supported teaching some country kid out in the Appalachian Mountains how to hunt with a gun, it’s not very uncommon. You have to take the good with the bad. How does the saying go " I would rather let 99 murderers go free than convict one innocent person".
