The shooter, identified by police as Natalie Rupnow, was a student at the Abundant Life Christian School.
Police in Wisconsin are interviewing friends and family and examining the online presence of a 15-year-old girl to determine what drove her to open fire in a classroom at her private Christian school, killing a fellow student and a teacher before taking her own life.
“Identifying a motive is our top priority, but at this time it appears that the motive was a combination of factors,” Madison Police Chief Shon Barnes said at a press conference.Barnes did not provide more detail, saying he didn’t want to jeopardise the investigation. The shooting took place in a study hall classroom just before 11am on Monday, Wisconsin time. Previously, Barnes said the first 911 call reporting the shooting was placed by a second grade student. On Tuesday, he clarified that the call actually came from a second grade teacher.
Wisconsin officials said it was far too early to say if Rupnow’s parents could be held legally responsible. Barnes said that for now it appeared that such charges were not warranted.
