Around 11am on Wednesday, Mount Horeb Area School District Superintendent Steve Salerno issued a warning that there had been an active shooter just after 11am at the middle school.
He said there are no reports of anyone being hurt “with the exception of the alleged assailant.”
The superintendent later noted that the perpetrator did not “did not breach entryway.” He urged locals to stay away from the school while it was in lockdown.
At 11.47am, he later said that law enforcement officers were “circulating throughout the middle school to confirm the safety of all students,” adding that the threat had been “neutralized” outside of the school building.
