ROSENDALE, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — Fond du Lac County authorities say they are investigating a school threat video that has been circulating on social media.
On Monday, the FBI alerted the Fond du Lac County Sheriff’s Office to the video.
Working with the FBI, deputies were able to identify the Rosendale Intermediate School student who spoke of this threat on social media.
The school’s resource deputy made contact with the student and it was determined another student had made the threatening statement about three weeks ago.
The status of the investigation continues.
As soon as the Fond du Lac County Sheriff’s Office was made aware of the threat, Rosendale-Brandon School District officials were notified. Additional notifications to the parents will be coming from the Rosendale-Brandon School District through email. Additional deputies were at the Rosendale schools Monday morning, along with a police officer from the Village of Rosendale Police Department.
The Ripon Police Department also assisted with student background investigative work.
The Fond du Lac County Sheriff’s Office says it takes all threats to schools and the safety of students seriously, and will investigate all threats to the fullest extent.
Parents and students are reminded that they should report any information regarding a threat, either literal or perceived, to law enforcement immediately. Reports can also be submitted through the Wisconsin Department of Justice’s Speak Up Speak Out Wisconsin website.
