A suspect was taken into custody Thursday after Wisconsin police said a teenager attempted to enter an elementary school in Kenosha while potentially armed.

According to authorities, a person attempted to enter Roosevelt Elementary School in Kenosha “with suspicious bags.” When confronted by school staff in the entryway of the building, the person fled the school into a nearby neighborhood, officials said.

The school was placed on a “secure hold” and just after 2 p.m. Thursday, authorities said a 13-year-old was arrested.
