Officials in Madison, Wisconsin have identified the suspected shooter who killed two people at the Abundant Life Christian School as a 15-year-old female student.
Madison Police Chief Shon Barnes identified the shooter as Natalie Rupnow, who went by the name Samantha. She was pronounced dead while being transported to a hospital.
The other two deceased are a teacher and a teenage student.
Chief Barnes also said a second-grade student called 911 at 10:57 a.m. Monday to report a shooting at the school.
The shooting happened in a study hall classroom, with students of mixed grades inside.
Police are working to determine Rupnow’s motive. Officers have talked with her family.
“Today is a sad, sad day, not only for Madison but our entire country, where yet another police chief is doing a press conference to speak about violence in our community, specifically in one of the places that’s most sacred to me as someone who loves education and to someone who has children that are in schools,” said Chief Barnes said.
