Kenosha Unified School District Responds to Suspicious Person at Roosevelt Elementary School
UPDATE at 4:25 p.m. CST on Nov. 7, 2024: Roosevelt Elementary School faculty and Kenosha-area law enforcement thwarted a potential school shooting attempt, leading to the arrest of a 13-year-old suspect — a current Mahone Middle School student and former Roosevelt student.
According to Kenosha Police Chief Patrick Patton, the suspect brought a suspicious black duffel bag, which they believed to contain a gun, to the school around 9:00 a.m. CST on Thursday morning. The suspect allegedly tried to open several locked side doors before attempting the front entrance to a vestibule.
Per Kenosha Police, school faculty confronted the suspect and asked him questions about why he was there, to which he was visibly nervous and eventually fled from the scene. They alerted Kenosha Police, who launched an investigation that culminated in an arrest on 30th Ave in the area of 67th St. and Roosevelt Rd in Kenosha; thanks in part to tips from the community.
