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.

    How do you know he was a bad guy with a gun? What if he was a good kid with a gun?

    If you have a gun are you a bad person?

      If you have a gun on school grounds and aren’t a cop, then yes, it by default makes you an imminent threat.

      Because he wasn’t wearing a hall monitor vest, of course kids are allowed to bring guns in that case
