No evidence of active shooter at Bradford High School: Kenosha Police

KENOSHA, Wis. — Kenosha police confirm there is no evidence of an active shooter at Bradford High School Thursday morning.

Kenosha police tell TMJ4 News that they believe the incident was a hoax. None of the school’s security cameras showed an active shooter, officials said.

At around 8:11 a.m., a call came in of “a male with a gun shooting students in a particular classroom."

KPD, Kenosha County Sheriff's deputies, and the United States Marshals Service entered the school and searched the entire building, as per their protocol.

Students and staff were given the all-clear at 8:46 a.m., police said.

Parents who arrived after hearing the news from their children are now doing voluntary dismissal.

KPD said they are working on figuring out what happened and if charges need to be filed.

Pleasant Prairie police said in a separate note that their officers were at Lakeview Technology Academy for the same report of an active shooter. But that they confirmed no active shooter was located and gave the scene the all-clear.

Charges for a hoax threat for juveniles and adults can range from disorderly conduct (which could include jail time), to making a terrorist threat, a felony that could result in jail time, fines up to $25,000, to removing the ability to own a gun for the rest of your life.
