Three people have been injured in a high school shooting while students left a prom.

The shooting happened at around 11pm local time (4am GMT) as people left the area.

Two pupils were injured and are being treated in hospital while a police officer, who was in the car park at the time, fatally shot the gunman.


Multiple gunshots were fired at Antigo High School, Wisconsin, and police are not treating it as an ‘active shooter situation’.

After the shooting police cordoned off access to the school and only allowed parents in to be reunited with their children.



A police statement said: ‘Late Saturdyan night, at the Antigo High School prom, a subject showed up with a rifle on the outside of the building started shooting, two students from the prom were shot as they exited the building.

‘Officers were in the parking lot patrolling the activities and heard the shots and an officer immediately fired upon the shooter, stopping the threat.

‘All the people within the prom were eventually escorted from the school and are safe. The victims’ families have been notified.’
