APPLETON, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — A 15-year-old boy is in custody after making threats to harm others, police say.
Officers were called to the 700 block of E. Atlantic Street around 11:45 a.m. Monday for a parent reporting concerns for her son and the safety of others.
The boy had left on foot prior to officers’ arrival.
As the investigation progressed, it was discovered the boy was involved in a fight with other Appleton students on Sunday night and he was possibly planning on looking for them.

Around 2 p.m., the boy was found and safely taken into custody.
Shortly after, all schools lifted their lockdowns.
