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.
It’s a crime to carry a firearm without a carry permit. It’s also a crime to bring a weapon to a school in most states.
A capital crime where we can skip the trial and just execute you without due process? Without you entering the school?
That’s next-level false, partly because it’s state specific. You know this incident happened in Wisconsin, right? They let teens hunt deer with rifles, and while they need a hunting permit to do so, they don’t need a carry permit.
In fact, if the rifle was unloaded - and there is no evidence it wasn’t - it can legally be carried on school grounds in order to reach a hunting area.

I’m not justifying the response, but simply saying there was a crime. Shooting at the child was a failure of the police, with horrible repercussions.
You don’t need a carry permit in the vast majority of states unless you conceal it in a holster on your person.
It seems you do in Wisconsin.

Well not the state this happened in, so that seems irrelevant.
He said most states as well, I’m commenting on that, not solely on wisconsin.
