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.

    Cool, when you evolve past the 18th century you’ll find “stricter” works everywhere else

    In the meantime enjoy your medieval shitehole 😂

      Stricter can also mean smarter. Just like you probably bitch about shitty drivers and wonder why they have a license, I feel more intelligent testing should be required for firearms.

      Be harsher on safety. Maybe provide free small arms gun cases after passing actual firearm classes and certs. Amongst others. NOT stricter as in take away rights. Stricter as in make the fools earn it, whereas the rest of us who are not idiots and leave shit like that out or easily accessible without some form of key would easily pass and secure that right. If done correctly the people most impacted would be the same ones most likely to be dumbasses in the first place.

      Anyway, I’m rather neutral on the subject and am mostly idea dumping. So whatever.

        I don’t bitch about shitty drivers because in my country, the driving test is strict, it doesn’t involve simply driving up to the drive-thru and verbally abusing another human being 😂

          So what you’re implying is intelligent and stricter testing has created drivers who you don’t have to complain about. Is that right?
