People wait for their children outside the Mount Horeb School District bus station in Mount Horeb, Wis., where students were taken after an active shooter situation at the middle school, Wednesday, May 1, 2024.MOUNT HOREB, Wis. — Witnesses described children fleeing amid the sound of gunshots near a Wisconsin middle school where authorities said an active shooter was “neutralized” outside the building Wednesday. There were no reported injuries to those inside the school.
Police patrolled with rifles outside Mount Horeb Middle School later Wednesday afternoon. Photos by the Wisconsin State Journal showed more than a dozen law enforcement vehicles including SWAT-style trucks nearby with emergency lights flashing. First responders surrounding a gurney on the sidewalk also were visible.
Earlier, the district posted that “the threat has been neutralized outside of the building” but didn’t give further details of what had happened at the school in Mount Horeb, some 25 miles west of the state capital of Madison. One middle schooler said his class was in the school gym practicing in-line skating when they heard gunshots.
The district had begun releasing some students of other schools by early afternoon and anxious parents gathered at a bus depot waiting to be reunited with their kids. “I just want my kid,” she said. “They’re supposed to be safe at school, in Mount Horeb of all places.”
