Teacher and student dead after ’15-year-old girl opens fire in Wisconsin school shooting’

In a shocking incident, police confirmed the identity of the young shooter behind the fatal attack at a private Christian school in the United States as Natalie Rupnow. Using the alias Samantha, Rupnow tragically killed a teacher and a fellow teenager, as well as wounding four others, at Abundant Life Christian School in Madison, Wisconsin.

Amid Monday’s chaos, two victims are now fighting for their lives; Police have not specified whether these individuals are children or adults. The attacker, initially believed to be 17 years old, was actually only 15 years old.

After emergency services arrived at the scene, where parents shelled out up to $10,000 a year for education, Natalie was discovered dead from what was suspected to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound. In a somber tone, Madison Police Chief Shon Barnes declared: “Today is a sad day not only for Madison, but for our entire country. We have to do a better job in our community.”

Addressing the media at the tragic scene, he reiterated that the motive for the shooting has not yet been identified.

Authorities have not yet released the names of the victims as the investigation continues. Earlier that day, officers had rushed to the school with around 400 students after a 911 distress call reported an active shooter at approximately 11am local time (5pm UK time).
