The police state that the perpetrator was a 15-year-old female student

A teacher and a teenage student were killed in a shooting at a private Christian school in Madison, Wis., on Monday, police said.

At a press briefing Monday evening, Madison Police Chief Shon Barnes said the shooter had been identified as 15-year-old Natalie Rupnow, who went by the name Samantha. “She was a student at the school and evidence suggests she died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound,” he said.

Barnes said Rupnow’s parents were cooperating with detectives and a motive for the shooting had not yet been determined.

Six other people were wounded in the shooting, Barnes said. Two students remained in critical condition with life-threatening injuries.

President Biden has been briefed on the shooting and senior White House officials “are in contact with local counterparts in Madison to provide support as needed,” according to a press pool report.
