PRINCETON- Wednesday at around 3 o’clock in the afternoon, a male subject holding a shotgun walked into Princeton High School through the north entrance. The gunman moved throughout the school arriving at his destination in the hall way outside of the lower level classrooms.

The Princeton Police responded to the scene and immediately evacuated the building to secure the school. Upon police entry, the gunman, Blake R. Schimdt age 18 of Princeton was sitting alongside the hall with the shotgun in hand while seeming to be highly emotional and distressed.

After long negotiations, police were able to recover the weapon from Schimdt and take him into custody. Schimdt was then taken to Perry Memorial Hospital for evaluation.

There were no reported injuries and case remains under investigation with uncertain charges.
