Wisconsin 6th-Grader Admits Sending Terroristic Threats to Kennedy Middle School

A 12-year-old sixth-grade student at Kennedy Middle School in Germantown, Wisconsin, was arrested after sending a threatening email on June 2, 2025, stating plans to bring an AK-47 to school and kill all the teachers. The threat was sent anonymously to the school's attendance email account, prompting the school to be placed on hold as law enforcement responded. Police executed a search warrant on June 6 at the student's home, seizing electronic devices and linking the email to a Google account owned by the student, who admitted to sending the message out of anger following a recent interaction with a teacher. The student does not have access to firearms at home, and the family has cooperated fully with the police and school district. Authorities have submitted a referral for terroristic threats to Washington County Juvenile Intake. Officials emphasized that all threats are taken seriously and investigated thoroughly, despite some community concerns about communication during the incident.
