A Wisconsin student suspect was shot and killed by police on Wednesday outside a middle school that was locked down for an active shooter threat.
A student in Mt. Horeb, Wisconsin, was shot and killed by police outside a middle school after it was placed on lockdown for an active shooter threat on Wednesday. FOX 6 in Milwaukee reported that Attorney General Josh Kaul confirmed a male student had a weapon outside Mt. Horeb Middle School. Responding officers used deadly force on the student, who was not able to gain entry into the school, Kaul added.
An initial search of the middle school has not yielded additional suspects,' a post around noon said. 'As importantly, we have no reports of individuals being harmed, with the exception of the alleged assailant.' An earlier post from the district reported 'the threat has been neutralized outside of the building.' Details about what happened were not provided by the district. On Wednesday evening, the district announced it was canceling school on Thursday.
Mt. Horeb is about 25 miles west of the state capital of Madison. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
