A 15-year-old girl fatally shot a teacher and a fellow student at Abundant Life Christian School in Madison, Wisconsin before taking her own life. Police are investigating the motive behind the shooting.
Police in Wisconsin on Tuesday, December 17, were interviewing friends and family and examining the online presence of a 15-year-old girl to determine what drove her to open fire at her private Christian school, killing a fellow student and a teacher before taking her own life. The shooter, identified by police as Natalie Rupnow, who also went by Samantha, was a student at the Abundant Life Christian School in Madison, Wisconsin, the state capital.
In one key way, the Madison attack is an outlier among US school and mass shootings: Women and girls are far less likely to carry them out than male attackers. Only about 3% of all US mass shootings are perpetrated by females, studies show. “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 told a press conference.Investigators are examining the girl’s cell phone, computer and online posts as well as looking into verifying a possible manifesto that the shooter may have left behind.Police have confirmed the name of the street where she lived in Madison. Online records show a person named Jeffrey Rupnow lives on the same street, and a Facebook profile belonging to a Jeff Rupnow in Madison shows photos of a newborn daughter named Natalie Lynn from 2009, 15 years ago. Jeff Rupnow’s cover photo, posted in August, shows what appears to be a teenaged girl trap shooting with a shotgun at a local club
