Classes were disrupted for over an hour at Bradford High School in Kenosha Tuesday by a 'swatting' incident. That's where pranksters call in a phony story that usually triggers a large response by police. In this case, a caller reported he had just shot someone in the school. Although police discounted the report within minutes, the school was placed on lockdown and thoroughly searched. 39th Ave. in front of the school was closed for over an hour. The investigation is continuing.

A Racine man who allegedly pointed a gun at a group of school children Monday appeared in court Tuesday. 61-year-old James Price is facing seven charges, including possession of a firearm while intoxicated. According to the complaint, 10 students were outside on recess at Wisconsin Lutheran School when a staffer spotted a man approach who appeared to be drunk. The man then produced what appeared to be a handgun. The employee ushered the students into the adjacent church. Police caught up with the man about a half-mile away, still waving a gun. He eventually dropped the gun and was arrested. Police said the firearm was not loaded. Bond for Price was set at $7,500.
