(CLO) Madison City Police Chief said the motive for the shooting at Abundant Life Christian School appeared to stem from “a combination of factors.”


A horrific shooting at Abundant Life Christian School in Madison, Wisconsin, left one teacher and one student dead, and six others injured, including two students in critical condition. The perpetrator, Natalie Rupnow, 15, committed suicide after carrying out the attack.

Madison Police Chief Shon Barnes said the motive for the shooting appears to have been a “combination of factors.” Authorities are investigating whether Natalie may have been bullied at school, as well as examining the authenticity of a “manifesto” believed to be written by the shooter, which could shed light on the motive.

“Determining the motive is our top priority and we are appealing to the public for further information about the perpetrator,” Mr Barnes stressed.

The assailant attacked a classroom at around 11am on December 18 (local time). It took rescuers only 3 minutes to reach the scene after the emergency call. According to the investigation, the assailant used a 9mm pistol.

President Joe Biden, in a statement, called on the US Congress to push for national gun background checks and other gun control measures. “We cannot tolerate senseless acts of violence that deeply hurt children, families, and entire communities,” he said.

Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers called the incident “unimaginable” and said no one should have to face such a situation at school.

The Madison shooting is just one of dozens that have occurred in the United States in recent years, including horrific tragedies in Newtown, Connecticut, Parkland, Florida, and Uvalde, Texas. According to the nonprofit organization KFF, guns have become the leading cause of death among children in the United States in 2020 and 2021.
