WAUKESHA, Wis. – Gunshots were exchanged between a student and a school resource officer inside Waukesha South High School in Wisconsin, according to school officials. The suspect is in custody and the building is safe and secure, according to the Waukesha Police Department.
The email said students were cleared from the hallway and in locked classrooms after a school resource officer received information that a student had a gun."We appreciate all the quick response by the staff and students," the email said."The safety and security of all students and staff are a top priority."This is an isolated incident. We are not seeking anybody else we have no other persons of interest.
"They were right next to my classroom so we all went into shock even my teacher hid with us. We stayed down for like 20 minutes and the actual lockdown sound went out. Our police officer went on the speaker and said to stay on hold and we have been in the classroom ever since," the student wrote just after 11 a.m.
