An armed 13-year-old carrying a backpack and duffel bag was stopped from entering a Wisconsin elementary school Thursday morning after being confronted by school staff before being taken into custody several hours later, according to officials. "We narrowly missed a tragedy," Kenosha Police Chief Patrick D. Patton told reporters Thursday. The 13-year-old, who previously attended Roosevelt Elementary School, attempted to enter the building at about 9 a.m. local time, Patton said.
