13-Year-Old Boy Arrested in School Threat

A 13-year-old boy was apprehended in Kenosha, Wisconsin, after attempting to enter Roosevelt Elementary School multiple times while potentially armed. School staff noticed his suspicious behavior and confronted him, leading him to flee before he could enter the premises. Authorities later found that the boy had shared concerning videos and made online searches related to school shootings in the weeks prior to the incident. Kenosha police emphasized the importance of community vigilance, stating that several 'red flags' were present and should have been reported earlier. The incident resulted in a secure lockdown of all schools in the Kenosha Unified School District, and police are grateful that the school's secured entry helped prevent a potential tragedy. Superintendent Jeff Weiss highlighted the effective emergency planning and collaboration that contributed to the incident's resolution without harm to students or staff.
