Kenosha police looking for 'suspicious person' seen at Roosevelt Elementary

KENOSHA, Wis. (CBS 58) -- Kenosha police are investigating reports of a "suspicious person" who was seen at Roosevelt Elementary School Thursday, Nov. 7.

The school district says just after 9 a.m., the individual attempted to enter Roosevelt Elementary carrying suspicious bags. When school staff questioned them in the secured entryway, the suspect fled the building into the neighborhood. 

Kenosha police advised all Kenosha Unified schools to initiate a secure hold while the police department searched for the suspect. Officials say schools can continue business as usual while in the secure hold, but no one can enter or exit the buildings. They say a decision regarding dismissal and after school activities has yet to be made. 

Law enforcement officials have squads at all county schools and are patrolling the area to assist with the search. 

Anyone with any information is asked to contact the Kenosha Police Department at 262-656-1234.
