KEWAUNEE (NBC 26) — Kewaunee authorities say a threat investigation into a student disagreement revealed an "inappropriate storage of a hunting weapon" on school premises. Now, a student is facing consequences.

In a joint news release from the Kewaunee Police Department and Kewaunee School District, officials said the school received information regarding a possible safety concern involving a high school student on Wednesday.

According to the statement, at this time, based on the investigation of a disagreement between two students, a student will be facing significant school consequences and law enforcement consequences after finding inappropriate storage of a hunting weapon in a locked vehicle on school premises.

However, police said that based on the information to date, there was no credible threat to any other student or staff.
