Summary
A 15-year-old girl, Natalie Rupnow, killed a teacher, a student, and wounded six others before dying by suicide at Abundant Life Christian School in Madison, Wisconsin.
Police are investigating a manifesto reportedly left by Rupnow, though its authenticity is unconfirmed.
The shooting occurred during a study hall, and a handgun was recovered.
Authorities are investigating how she obtained the weapon and her motive.
The incident highlights the rarity of female school shooters. Police urge the public to avoid speculation regarding Rupnow’s identity as they continue their investigation.
“How does any 15-year-old get ahold of a gun?” he said.
are you fucking kidding me? we have almost no gun control, and there are more guns than human beings floating around the country.
any attempt and even kind of controlling these human killing devices is stopped by conservatives 100% of the time.
dead kids are the tax americans pay for the 2nd amendment.
if a room full of dead kindergartners wasnt enough to get gun nuts on board, nothing will be.
If the norm ever switches from dead kids to dead CEOs, expect to see gun regulation suddenly matter
“Christian private school”
So much for the whole “we need prayer back in schools” argument.
Yeah, what the hell? Didn’t they not have the 10 Commandments posted prominently in every room? I have been assured that doing so would prevent this sort of thing.
i don’t get it : they say who she is, then say ; we should not speculate about who she is :
Natalie Rupnow, killed … Police urge the public to avoid speculation regarding Rupnow’s identity
Oh that’s easy, article was already written before the name was released and it was just a quick Find and Replace, Editing? What’s that? No time in the modern media era. Gotta be the first to report it 3 seconds before the competition.
Can confirm, had a friend who listened to police scanners for a major news station. One time a cop goofed and said the victim’s name (a minor) over the radio, and my friend was thrilled because they had a name to release the instant it was allowed. Less of a friend after I saw their level of glee.
Because most school shooters are male, the wingnut social media is going off about how they’re actually transgender.
There’s 1000% no evidence of that, but when has that ever gotten in the way of the wingnuts?

Does everyone have a manifesto now? Back in the day, a manifesto had to be 4,000 words long, with no paragraphs, typed on a doggy selectiric.
Are you sure? The Big Beats Manifesto was only like 11 words long and that was described as an all encompassing way of life.
Thoughts and prayers.
Seriously though this is just sad that we have to deal with this daily and as parents it is always in the back of my mind. I feel so bad for the families this close to the holiday.
