A 15-year-old student, Natalie 'Samantha' Rupnow, has been identified as the suspect in a shooting at Abundant Life Christian School in Madison, Wisconsin. The attack resulted in two fatalities, including a teacher and a student, and six others were critically injured. Rupnow is believed to have died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
A 15-year-old suspected of killing two people and critically injuring six others in a Wisconsin school shooting has been named by police. Police identified the Madison, Wisconsin school shooter as 15-year-old student Natalie 'Samantha' Rupnow. A teacher and a student were killed in the shooting, Rupnow is believed to have died in an ambulance following the attack. She was reportedly found wounded from a self-inflicted gunshot in the wake of the killings.
Madison Police Chief Shon Barnes confirmed that two of the six people injured in the rampage remain in critical condition. The attack took place at the Abundant Life Christian School in Madison, the capital of the Midwestern state, on Monday. Chief Barnes said police are currently working with Rupnow’s father, who is cooperating with authorities, to determine what led to the attack. It is yet to be confirmed if Rupnow’s family are gun owners. “He lost someone as well. And so we're not going to rush the information, we'll take our time and certainly do our due diligence,' Barnes said. Barnes added he had no knowledge of any previous incidents involving Rupnow. “I think if there were, we certainly would have had some type of intervention, but I'm not aware of that,” he said. “We know that the suspect shooter was a teenage student who attended the school,” Barnes added. “Again, as difficult as today is, that's still someone's child that's gone, that's still someone that has to deal with what happened today. And so we want to make sure that we can ensure as much cooperation as we can,” he added. “Why did this happen? What do we know? What was the motivation? “I do not know.” Abundant Life was not a place where authorities expected this kind of violence to occur, Barnes told reporters on Monday
