Summary
A 15-year-old girl, Natalie Rupnow, killed a teacher, a student, and wounded six others before dying by suicide at Abundant Life Christian School in Madison, Wisconsin.
Police are investigating a manifesto reportedly left by Rupnow, though its authenticity is unconfirmed.
The shooting occurred during a study hall, and a handgun was recovered.
Authorities are investigating how she obtained the weapon and her motive.
The incident highlights the rarity of female school shooters. Police urge the public to avoid speculation regarding Rupnow’s identity as they continue their investigation.
On the bright side, there are only a few more days of school before winter break so the average should drop a bit. /s
Although one thing to note:
I feel like a gun being brandish is not a school shooting since that kind of implies the gun is not fired.
That’s a good point.
