On Monday, a shooting incident occurred in Madison, Wisconsin, near a classroom where one of Kellen Lewis' four children, a third grader, was attending class. During the chaos, a bullet punctured a pipe in the room, causing water to spurt onto the child's shoes. The students could hear people running in the hallway and screaming about an active shooter. In response to the lockdown announcement, Lewis' son and his classmates huddled in a corner for safety.
According to Lewis, his third-grade son recounted how his teacher positioned herself between the door and the children with scissors, prepared to defend them if necessary.

When speaking with his children, Lewis emphasized the positive aspects of the incident. He commended the school for preparing them for such emergencies and praised the children for following the safety protocols effectively.
