MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Authorities say a 13-year-old boy who had researched school shootings online was arrested hours after he tried to enter a Wisconsin elementary school while armed. Kenosha police say they believe the boy had a firearm when he was stopped Thursday morning while trying to enter Roosevelt Elementary School with a backpack and a duffle bag. The police chief says that “we narrowly missed a tragedy.” It was unclear Friday whether the boy was actually armed. The police chief has not said whether police recovered weapons or ammunition from him. Police say pellet guns resembling real guns were found at his home.
