Caledonia resident Katie Tiderman was near the area at the time of the shooting. She said the crowd grew quickly, and escalated quickly.
“You could hear the voice tones change. And while normally students hang closer to the entry off Rapids, the group came across the lot from the school and behind the store complex (there is a small pass thru for cars from the front to back between stores),” Tiderman wrote in a Facebook post. “It got big and loud and punches were on and off. Every blessed kid came to watch and of course, FILM IT! You could see these kids coming over with their phones raised! Then 1 loud pop and they scattered in all directions. I did not see a hand, gun or smoke.”
After police responded to the scene, the high school was put on lock down. Students were released from school at 11:10 a.m. they were already planned to have been released early.
“The Racine Police Department has worked closely with Racine Unified School officials to make sure the safety of students leaving the school,” according to a press release from the Racine Police Department.
No victims have been found. The suspects are still at large.
