Parents worried over vague school violence threat communication
Parents in the Whitnall School District expressed concern after receiving a vague notice about a potential school violence threat. This followed a police search that uncovered fake guns at an apartment, leading to the arrest of a high school student and their mother. The Hales Corners Police Department confirmed that no real threat exists and that no charges will be filed. The student and mother have since been released. Parents are seeking more information about the incident, feeling the school's communication was insufficient. Despite the initial alarm, some parents feel reassured that the situation was handled effectively. They appreciate that the community responded to the potential threat. The school district has not provided further comments on the matter.
