The event took place on Wednesday outside the Mount Horeb Area Middle School, with witnesses, including students and nearby residents, recounting the sound of approximately five gunshots as officers engaged the armed teenager.
Before the fatal confrontation, the school had sent out an alert to parents, advising them to remain indoors and secure all entrances due to the presence of an armed individual. The alert explicitly stated that the person was carrying a rifle and should be considered a threat.
Following the shooting of the armed teenager by law enforcement, the school district kept the community informed through updates on Facebook. Steve Salerno, the district superintendent, confirmed that the armed teenager did not gain entry into the school before being intercepted by law enforcement.
