Dance Like Nobody’s Watching

Authorities at Whitefish Bay (Wisc.) High School called the police after identifying two freshman dancing in the school restroom — with a loaded pistol. “We went to the house of the one 15-year-old who lives in Whitefish Bay,” Police Chief Michael Young said, “and found the gun loaded behind the bed where the boy had been lying.” The other student was arrested at his Milwaukee home. “I think the scariest part of this is that they had it with them all day at school,” student Eliot Hatch said. “So at any point something could have gone wrong and there could have been a terrible accident.” Police say the gun was stolen, and the teens planned to sell it to a classmate, but that sale never happened. The way the school and police were able to so quickly identify the two suspects: they made a video of the incident and shared it on Snapchat.
