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.

    So we’re just going to start shooting everyone in the US who has a gun?

      Hey there’s an idea.

      To own a gun, you must be shot with it first. “Okay sir, your background check is in order and the payment has cleared, now if you would please step onto that pile of kitty litter there in front of the backstop and hold still…”

        I mean, hey, why not? Some places that do tazer training make you get hit with the tazer as part of it. Same with pepper spray in some self-defense classes. And if you do martial arts, you’re gonna get hit and thrown while in the dojo. 🤷🏻‍♂️
