Four males have been arrested following an investigation at St. Rose Catholic Elementary School.

Upon arrival, officers found a smashed gumball machine at the north side of the school. Noises were heard from inside the school.

WPS informed those inside a K9 unit was on the scene and would be released into the school.

The handler of the K9 unit heard a steel door open on the north side of the school and witnessed two suspects exiting the building. On seeing the officer, the suspects fled despite several verbal warnings.

The K9 unit was released and apprehended one of the male suspects by biting his right arm and taking him to the ground. The 14-year-old male was later treated for two small puncture wounds to his arm.
