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.
Can confirm, had a friend who listened to police scanners for a major news station. One time a cop goofed and said the victim’s name (a minor) over the radio, and my friend was thrilled because they had a name to release the instant it was allowed. Less of a friend after I saw their level of glee.
