Mount Horeb, Wisconsin school shooting: Student with apparent long gun dead after police confrontation; threat ‘neutralized’ [Video]

MT. HOREB, Wis. — A 14-year-old boy is dead after approaching a Wisconsin middle school with what appeared to be a long gun and being confronted by police Wednesday morning, sources said.

The teen, who officials identified as a student during a news conference later Wednesday, sparked reports of an active shooter outside Mount Horeb Middle School.

A vehicle associated with the suspect is being searched for evidence by bomb technicians, according to sources.

The Mount Horeb Area School District said the threat was “neutralized” outside the building and no injuries have been reported “with the exception of the alleged assailant.”

The district said police responded to help “scope out” an active shooter at Mount Horeb Middle School.

“The individual did not breach [the] entryway,” the district said on Facebook.
