Oshkosh West High School
Oshkosh police say Officer Michael Wissink fired his service weapon while being attacked by a 16-year-old student with an edged weapon. Wissink has been an Oshkosh officer for 21 years — and a school resource officer since 2017.
Investigators say the officer shot the student once. Both were injured and taken to a hospital for treatment. The high school went on lockdown — and later evacuated. That sent a wave of panic in the community — especially since this incident came a day after another shooting inside Waukesha South High School on Monday.
