The shooting comes one day after an incident at another Wisconsin high school about 80 miles south of Oshkosh.
At around 10 a.m. Monday, a police officer at Waukesha South High School shot a male student who was allegedly armed with a gun. The shooting occurred after a student at the school alerted a school resource officer that a classmate had a gun.
In the Waukesha incident, authorities said that a school resource officer, along with local police and sheriff's deputies, responded and tried to de-escalate the incident, but were unsuccessful in doing so.
Waukesha Police Chief Russell Jack said the suspect would not remove his hands from his pockets and then took a gun from the waistband of his pants and pointed it at the officers. A Waukesha officer fired, striking the student.
The suspect was said to be in stable condition and was taken into custody. No one else was injured in Monday's shooting.
