This is not a repeat article, but another event.
An armed Wisconsin high school student confronted a school resource officer on Tuesday morning, police said — one day after a similar incident unfolded at another Wisconsin high school.
The student at Oshkosh West High School, located roughly 53 miles southwest of Green Bay, “confronted a school resource officer,” the local police department confirmed online.
Both the student and the officer were injured and transported to local hospitals. No one else was injured in the incident.
As of 10 a.m. local time, Oshkosh West was locked down, according to authorities.

The shooting happened roughly 24 hours after a resource officer at Waukesha South High School — nearly 85 miles south of Oshkosh — confronted an armed male 17-year-old student.
A student at Waukesha told school officials that another student brought a handgun to school. The school resource officer promptly responded to a classroom and tried to secure the scene by getting other students to safety.
