A Wisconsin school district says an active shooter has been “neutralized” outside a middle school in Mount Horeb and that no one in the building was hurt.
It doesn’t actually say the police fired any shots either. (Edit: actually it does, scratch that part.)
But if you read this quote:
“It was maybe like pow-pow-pow-pow,” Keller told The Associated Press by phone. “I thought it was fireworks. I went outside and saw all the children running … I probably saw 200 children.”
She heard gunshots, then there were kids running. That sounds like the start of the event, not the resolution.
Ultimately we don’t have enough detail to say for sure, but given it was reported as an active shooter, that’s enough to justify the headline.
Right, and that scenario along with the quote could just as easily been applied to the hypothetical alternative scenario I laid out on my last comment.
This is just a terribly written and poorly sourced article that no editor should have allowed to be published.
