FOND DU LAC COUNTY, WI (WTAQ) – An 18-year-old Fond du Lac High School student has been convicted of threatening to shoot up the school.
Austin Hill spent 12 days in jail after being arrested for the January 2017 incident, and will spend one year on probation. A 45-day jail term has been stayed.
If he completes all conditions of his sentence, Hill will be able to request that the conviction be expunged from his record.
Prosecutors say Hill dropped a note in the hallway, claiming he just wanted to get out of school and did not intend on carrying out the shooting.
