Student Missed Being Shot, Brought His Air Rifle to School. Police Found the 13-year old Had Investigated School Shootings to Scare Others

RISKAlert # 2031 ???????? November 8, ??2024? ?????? Kenosha, Wisconsin ??

For the second time this year in Wisconsin, a young teen (13 years old) was found to have researched school shootings and then attempted to carry out an attack with a replica airsoft gun.

Another student was killed by police at his school in Mount Horeb, Wisconsin. This week in Kenosha, a 13-year-old attempting an attack fled from the campus before police arrived.? When he was found, he was carrying both a backpack and a duffle bag.

Police conducted a search warrant at his home on Thursday afternoon where they found several airsoft replica handguns and a replica rifle. No real firearms were found during the search. The 13-year-old first told police he went to the school to sell candy, but later told a social worker he had gone to the school to scare students.

The local police said the 13-year-old shared videos and made several comments about school shootings to fellow students for weeks leading up to the attempted attack on Thursday.? "We know that there are Internet searches and all the red flags that we would look for and expect someone to report were there. They're coming up towards saying we have we narrowly missed a tragedy today, and we're just going to re-encourage everybody when they see something, say something, help us out. Have those talks with your children. This should have been reported to us earlier" Police Chief Patton said.

In the incident last May, rural Wisconsin student with an air rifle was tragically killed by police during attempted school shooting. In that incident, police officers spotted a teen outside of the building with a long black rifle and shot and killed him when he didn’t comply with commands. Four days later, police provided an update that the rifle was a $100 pellet gun available at Walmart and Amazon. From the police records, it appears that he may have attempted to load the air rifle with a 9mm round (online air gun forums describe how to fire a 9mm bullet with a modified air rifle).
