Only that one was shot and wounded by cops after pulling out his gun on them.

There was a kid with a gun also at another Waukesha high school, (the one shot was at Waukesha South, the other one was at Waukesha North,) but no shots were fired.

Looks like the student was wielding a knife, and may have been in a dispute with another student.

The student in Waukesha yesterday, used a pellet gun, that looked like a real gun.

Why not arm every single kid in school from grade two and up a 17 round Glock. Im sure that will solve the problem.

Insanity reigns.

To a kid bringing a knife to school. Don't see how it would stop another from doing the same.
