KENOSHA, Wis. (WFRV) – Officers have released additional information about the scary incident that happened at a southeastern Wisconsin elementary school on Thursday morning, specifying that the guns were air soft replicas.

A Facebook post from the Kenosha Police Department states that the 13-year-old Kenosha teenager who showed up at Roosevelt Elementary with a black duffle bag and backpack has been charged with one count of Terroristic Threats.

During the search of the suspect's home shortly before 3 p.m. on November 7, the same day as the incident, detectives reportedly found several air soft replica handguns and a replica rifle. During an interview with the teenager, he claimed to have gone to the school to sell candy. However, he allegedly later told a social worker that he went to the school with the "intent to scare students."

It was noted in the release that no real firearms were found during the search and the suspects mother is cooperating with the investigation, and the rumors online of her arrest are not valid.
