HuffPost
Authorities say the 13-year-old boy had researched school shootings online before Thursday's incident at Roosevelt Elementary School in Kenosha.
KENOSHA, Wis. (AP) — A 13-year-old boy who had researched school shootings online was taken into custody hours after he tried to enter a Wisconsin elementary school while armed and then fled when confronted by school staff, police said.
“We narrowly missed a tragedy,” Kenosha Police Chief Patrick Patton said Thursday afternoon.
Police believe the boy had a firearm when he was stopped around 9 a.m. Thursday while trying to enter Roosevelt Elementary School with a backpack and a duffle bag in Kenosha, about 35 miles (55 kilometers) south of Milwaukee.
School staff members questioned the teen in a secured entrance area, and surveillance video showed a large black bag at his side, Patton said.
“The only reason the individual was not able to fully enter the school was because of the quick and diligent actions of the school staff,” he said Thursday at a news conference. The boy immediately fled on foot when school staff approached him, Patton said.
