JANESVILLE, Wis. (WIFR) - An 8th grader faces juvenile charges after a school threat was reported Wednesday at a Wisconsin middle school. The 14-year-old was detained at the Rock County Youth Services Center after Marshall Middle School administrators received word of the threat. Authorities say they received the information at the beginning of the school day through witnesses and immediately took action to investigate, locating the student and searching their backpack and locker. Officers then obtained a search warrant for the student's residence, where they found four firearms and miscellaneous computerized devices.
