Kenosha school threat; first school board meeting held after incident

The board did not address concerns, but several parents and a student did speak.

"Thursday after the incident, our children did have issues, bedtime concerns that someone was going to come and hurt them or take them, so they were having issues getting back to bed," said Manny Murillo, a parent.

Police arrested the teen at his home after an hours-long search on Thursday. The boy appeared in Kenosha County court on Friday morning, Nov. 8, and again on Tuesday.

"Honestly, I am traumatized, mentally," said Kristina Delgado, another parent. "I am very concerned for my child's safety but also for my community's safety as well for innocent children who don't know what's going on in their surroundings."

The teen later told a social worker he went to the school to scare kids.

The boy's defense attorney asked for and was granted a competency evaluation. The state asked for the boy to remain in custody at this time. The teen is due back in court next week.

Superintendent Jeffrey Weiss declined to go on camera on Tuesday evening.

Former U.S. Rep. Michael Grimm, a New York Republican who resigned from Congress following a tax fraud conviction, is paralyzed from the chest down after being thrown from a horse during a polo tournament, according to friends who are raising funds to pay for the ex-lawmaker's medical care. Grimm, 54, suffered the devastating injury in September and is now being treated at the Kessler Institute for Rehabilitation in New Jersey, where the late actor Christopher Reeve was treated after a similar equestrian accident in 1995, according to Vincent Ignizio, a friend of Grimm's who is a former New York City Council member. "It was a passion of his and he suffered a tragic accident at the end of September," said Ignizio, who has set up a GoFundMe account to pay for Grimm's medical care.
