We're not taking anything lightly. The rumors are flying at an unbelievable rate in the aftermath of this thing. At North Shore Middle School in Hartland, officials were trying to get the students back into a normal routine after one of them was questioned about a possible threat to bring a gun to eighth-grade graduation. The boy and his father went to the Hartland Police Department to answer questions last Thursday. The boy denied making the comment, although he did admit talking about the Colorado shootings at school.
Police say they believe the man's son.
And the father said there were no guns in their house and his son didn't have any access to weapons. He speculated the other student who reported the alleged comments may have been trying to call attention to himself. Superintendent Jeffrey Gruber said school officials felt in light of the Littleton shootings, they had to call the police. At Kettle Moraine High School, officials canceled an anti-alcohol event scheduled for today that was to have someone portraying the Grim Reaper.
