The unidentified intruder was gunned down on Wednesday morning while trying to enter Mount Horeb Area Middle School in Mount Horeb, Wisconsin.
The district asked people to stay away from the middle school on Wednesday. No injuries inside the school were reported as police remains at the schoolA 14-year-old boy has been shot dead by police as he approached a middle school brandishing a rifle.
After hours of terror, school district superintendent Steve Salerno said the 'gunman' did not breach the entry gates before he was killed by responding police. The district then posted on Facebook about 11.30am, after the gunman had already been shot at least 15 minutes earlier. No injuries have been reported inside the middle school in Mount Horeb, which is about a half-hour drive from Madison.
Some middle schoolers were evacuated as the active shooter situation unfolded, but most of their classmates are still inside. 'It was maybe like pow-pow-pow-pow,' Keller told The Associated Press by phone. 'I thought it was fireworks. I went outside and saw all the children running... I probably saw 200 children.'
