MT. HOREB, Wis. (WRN) — More details about the somber day in the Dane County Village of Mt. Horeb, where a school shooting ended in tragedy, but could have been much worse.
Parents and their kids are trying to come to terms of their school district becoming the most recent in a seemingly never-ending list of schools having to deal with the tragedy of a mass shooting. And while there is no such thing of a good ending to these stories, the dire situation in Mt Horeb ended better than most as the only loss of life was the 14-year-old gunman.
Students at Mt. Horeb’s middle school saw him trying to break out the window of the cafeteria late Wednesday morning with the butt of a rifle. That didn’t work and he started shooting at the window. Cops quickly got on scene and the suspect was shot and killed.
So many disturbing images of the terror of the day, one of the more gut-wrenching photos – rollerblades strewn about as terrified kids in a gym class ran for their lives.
