Ashwaubenon High School was evacuated after a student in a Star Wars costume was mistaken for a security threat
ASHWAUBENON, Wis. – A student wearing a costume for « Star Wars Day » prompted the evacuation of a Wisconsin high school.
Authorities were called around 7: 30 a.m. after receiving a report from a passer-by who « saw a person wearing a plastic mask, what he perceived to be a ballistic type vest and carrying a backpack and bag » entering Ashwaubenon High School, according to Ashwaubenon Public Safety.
CBS affiliate WFRV reports that students were evacuated from the school and transported to the middle school and a nearby church. Students who were inside the Parkview Middle School and Community Center taking an AP test were put on lockdown.
After a check of the school, authorities gave the all clear and found that it was just someone wearing a costume for « May The Fourth Be With You, » otherwise known as Star Wars Day.
Officials say that there is no threat and students were able to return to class. Ashwaubenon Public Safety says that they are « not seeking any recourse toward the student as it has been determined that this was merely a mistake or lapse in judgment. »
