Sun Prairie Police Department Media Release
From: Lieutenant Kevin Konopacki
Date: September 27, 2019
Subject: Report of a student with a gun – Sun Prairie High School

On Friday September 27, 2019 at approximately 3:48pm, the Sun Prairie Police Department received a 911 call from a female caller who said there were two female subjects inside a specific bathroom at the Sun Prairie High School and that one of the female subjects was holding a handgun. The caller also stated that the two female subjects were talking about shooting up the school.

Sun Prairie police officers immediately responded to the scene and evacuated the building of all students and staff. Students and staff were evacuated to the Sun Prairie District Office on S. Bird Street, Cardinal Heights Upper Middle School and Sun Prairie City Hall on east Main Street.

A search of the building was conducted and no one matching that description was found, nor was any weapon found, and no other activity indicating an active threat. After a review of school video, and especially concentrating in the area identified by the caller, officers were not able to substantiate the information that was being reported.
Sun Prairie High School staff were allowed back into the high school after the search was completed by officers and this incident remains under investigation at this time. More information will be released as it becomes available; however, anyone with information is asked to contact the Sun Prairie Police Department Non-Emergency Line at 608-837-7336, or anonymously at (608) 837-6300.
