Authorities say that an active shooter situation outside Mount Horeb Intermediate Middle School near Madison is over after the threat was neutralized.
The school district says the suspect never breached an entryway of the school. They added that the alleged assailant was harmed, and schools across the district were placed on lockdown as a precaution.
Initial witness reports indicate that just after 11:30 Wednesday morning, gunshots could be heard, and dozens of children were seen running.
Several dozen law enforcement vehicles were camped outside the school, and ambulances had also been reportedly parked in front of the high school.
Students and adults had remained barricaded in their classrooms for an unknown period.
No one else has been reported harmed or injured.
