In Marinette, WI., a 10 grade student is holding an entire class hostage at Marinette High School.
From The Green Bay Gazette: "A Marinette High School classroom of 23 students and one teacher is being held hostage tonight by a student armed with a handgun, Marinette police chief Jeff Skorik said at a press conference.
We know nothing about what the student wants,” Skorik said during a short press conference this evening. Authorities are reluctant to release information the student or those in the classroom, he said. The student with a handgun won’t talk to authorities, he said."

Marinette is located on the Wisconsin/Upper Michigan border. It's a nice, middle class city, where there is a large ship building company and Lake Michigan related businesses.
Hopefully, this will end well. This situation has been going on for about 6 hous now.
