In Elkhorn, police said they received word of a possible threat to schools from the Wauwatosa Police Department. The Elkhorn Area School District placed schools on lockdown while police provided additional patrols. The threat was later deemed to be not credible.
The Appleton Area School District also investigated a social media threat. Police said they were alerted to a potential vague threat made on Snapchat involving "North High School" the previous night. Additional school resource officers were deployed out of an abundance of caution.
