An armed student and a school resource officer have reportedly been injured during a shooting incident in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, just a day after a similar incident outside of Milwaukee.

Police say that the Oshkosh shooting occurred on Tuesday morning, leading to the hospitalisation of both the student and the officer who responded.

Just a day earlier, in a Milwaukee suburb about 80 miles south of Oshkosh, an officer shot another armed student, after he pointed a handgun at officers. The student was reportedly a 17-year-old male.

While neither shooting has so far resulted in any fatalities, their quick succession has served to highlight the high frequency with which the United States experiences gun violence both in and out of schools.

Just two years earlier, a shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, proved to be the deadliest such attack in a high school, when 17 people were killed.

That shooting, and the steady mass shootings that have resulted including those in Dayton, Ohio, and El Paso, Texas, earlier this year, have sparked widespread calls for gun reforms in the US — but little movement has been seen on the national level so far.

Wisconsin is rated as having the 18th strongest gun laws in the country, according to the group Giffords Law Centre, which advocates for gun control measures.
