**UPDATED AGAIN** - WI School Shooting

Three dead, six wounded at Abundant Life Christian School in Madison, WI.

*Update 2:

A second grader made the first call to 911. Police Chief Shon Barnes laid out a detailed timeline of the events at Abundant Life Christian School. A teacher and student were killed at the school. Two more students are still in the hospital with life-threatening injuries. A teacher and three students were treated for non-life-threatening injuries. Two of them have already been released from the hospital, and the other two are considered to be in stable condition.

The shooting took place in a mixed-grade study hall, possibly in the school’s library. The photo she posted to her X account is said to have been taken in the bathroom near the school library.

The shooter has been identified as a 15-year-old girl. For the record, she was a biological girl, not transgender. This is a rare instance of a female school shooter. The shooter’s internet presence shows someone who was fascinated with mass murderers and school shooters. She had an X account, which she tried to use to post a manifesto via Google Docs, but she forgot to make the document public. The founder of Reduxx tracked down the girl’s “boyfriend” and obtained a copy of the document. The manifesto shows a troubled girl with a troubled home life who was bullied in school and idolized mass shooters. She takes full responsibility for her actions, and claims that she got her guns by “lies, manipulations, and my father’s stupidity.” At one point, she says that she was considering suicide, but thought that would be too boring. Because of her fascination with previous school shooters, I will NOT be naming her.

*Update 1:

At about 2:30 pm Wisconsin time, officials held another briefing about the shooting at Abundant Life Christian School in Madison, releasing more information. We now know that the shooter was a teenage student at the school who used a firearm only identified as a “handgun” by Chief Barnes. The shooter was dead when police arrived, and no officers fired a weapon. Police are not releasing any more identifying information about the shooter or the weapon at this time.

The two deceased victims are a teacher and another teenage student. Six others were injured. Two students are in critical condition, and four other students are in the area hospitals with non-life-threatening injuries.

There was no resource officer at the school.

The mayor is urging anyone who needs mental health support to reach out to 988.
