(Wisconsin Radio Network) School threats increased following Monday’s fatal school shooting in Madison

According to the Wisconsin Radio Network, the Wisconsin Department of Justice Office of School Safety says over 80 tips about a possible school threat were reported over the last two days.

That more than doubles the number received during the same period last year. The justice department began its Speak Up, Speak Out confidential tip line four years ago allowing individuals to report concerns about student safety.

DOJ says 114 people contacted the 24/7 resource last school year to convey information about a possible school attack.
