APPLETON, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – A man was arrested Thursday after climbing to the roof on church property and firing a gun into the air.
Assistant Police Chief Polly Olson said officers were called to the St. Bernadette campus around 10:15 a.m. The Thompson Community Center also uses the former school building on the campus. A male had gone into one of the buildings and pointed a gun at someone, then went up to the roof.
Police negotiated with the male for about two and a half hours before he peacefully surrendered.
Nearby schools were locked down during the standoff. Neighbors were also told to shelter in place.
No one was injured.
