Teen involved in fatal shooting found delinquent again The 13-year-old Door County boy was judged delinquent for threatening mayhem By Joe Knaapen For The News-Chronicle STURGEON BAY - Just 48 hours after being judged delinquent for fatally shooting his friend, a Door County teenager was found delinquent again for threatening mayhem at his school. The 13-year-old boy was judged a delinquent for acts, which if committed by an adult, would be the crimes of disorderly conduct and violating a court order, said Door County Circuit Judge D. Todd Ehlers. A disposition for the delinquency will be imposed July 10, the same time as the disposition will be handed down for the fatal shooting, Ehlers said. The finding by Ehlers resulted from an incident that occurred Jan. 22 in the lunchroom at Southern Door schools. In a conversation with other teenage boys, the delinquent youth described how he could "take over the school" by chaining shut the doors, locking the principal in his office and posting snipers in the false towers that make up the school's new entry way. The youth initiated the conversation about a potential takeover, talked about "sniping cops" who might be sent to handle such a situation and mentioned specific types of weapons, including a machine gun, .30-06 rifle, shotgun and .22 caliber rifle, according to several boys who heard the conversation. At least one boy was frightened enough by the potential threat that he told his mother, who kept her son home from school the next day. She reported the conversation to school officials and the Door County Sheriff's Department. At least six boys heard the comments, said Investigator Hub Van Veen, the sheriff's officer who checked into the mother's complaint. Shortly after the conversation, the boy was transferred to a parochial school in Sturgeon Bay. Making the conversation threatening enough to become a crime was the fact the youth was involved in the fatal shooting Dec. 31, 2002, of Jacob Buhr, and his involvement was known to the other boys, said District Attorney Tim Funnell. The disruption caused by the conversation violated a custody order imposed by the court, Funnell said. By causing a disturbance, the boy failed to comply with the custody requirement to obey all laws.
