Police kill student at school in the USA after information about armed person | USA

A student was killed by police outside a high school in Wisconsin, northern United States, after authorities received a report of an armed person, the state’s attorney general said.

Josh Kaul’s statements were made on Wednesday night, at a meeting of authorities about the shootings that sent children fleeing from Mount Horeb secondary school and caused a closure of local schools for several hours, according to the news agency Associated Press.

The shooter who never entered the building “was neutralized” outside the school, authorities said. “This incident took place abroad [da escola]. The individual in this case never managed to enter,” said Kaul, indicating that there were no injuries.

Authorities present at the meeting described the student as a young male, without providing age or other information about the school he attended.

Kaul declined, however, to answer questions about what happened following the police response, including whether the student fired a weapon, what type of weapon he was carrying and whether he forced entry into the school.

Authorities said several Mount Horeb officers wearing body cameras fired weapons, without specifying how many. Police remained at the scene for hours after the incident and the students were kept locked in buildings until late afternoon before being released to reunite with their families.
