Teen Pleads Guilty After Making School Threats

A 17-year-old Menomonee Falls High School student plead guilty to one count of disorderly conduct for making violent threats at the school in January.

A 17-year-old Menomonee Falls High School student who threatened to create a “Columbine” incident at the school plead guilty to one count of disorderly conduct Wednesday.

On Jan. 27, police were called to the high school after Louis Summit, of Milwaukee, made repeated threats to staff and students about shooting up the school and making references to the Columbine school shooting in Colorado.

When police arrived at the school, Summit was having a heated discussion with an assistant principal. The officer then heard Summit say, “I’m going to (expletive) shoot up this place,” and then immediately took him into custody.
