A tragic school shooting occurred at Abundant Life Christian School in Wisconsin on Monday, December 16, leaving two people dead and six others injured. Police identified the shooter as 15-year-old Natalie “Samantha” Rupnow, a student at the school. Reports indicate Rupnow entered the campus armed with a handgun and opened fire on students during study hall.
Authorities confirmed that Rupnow died on the way to the hospital, with evidence pointing to a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Police are investigating a six-page manifesto, titled “War Against Humanity,” which has surfaced online and is allegedly linked to the shooter. However, Madison Police Chief Shon Barnes stated that the document’s authenticity has not been verified and is currently under FBI review.
Two students remain in critical condition, while four others sustained non-life-threatening injuries. The victims’ names have yet to be released as the investigation continues. Rupnow’s parents are cooperating with authorities, who are working to understand the motive behind the tragic incident.
The shooting has sparked renewed calls for action against gun violence. President Joe Biden described the attack as “shocking and unconscionable,” urging Congress to take immediate measures to address the crisis. The community remains shaken as authorities work to piece together the circumstances leading to the devastating event.
