On Tuesday, Madison, Wisconsin, police continued to look into what led a 15-year-old Christian school student to shoot a teacher and a classmate in a study hall the previous day.
According to authorities, two of the other kids who were hurt on Tuesday were still in critical condition.
Finding a motive is our first concern. According to Madison Police Chief Shon Barnes, who spoke during a press conference, the motive now seems to have been a combination of circumstances.
The shooter has been identified as 15-year-old Natalie Rupnow, a student at the school who went by Samantha.
According to authorities, she opened fire at a study hall with a revolver before passing away from what they suspect to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Barnes stated that the suspect’s social media accounts are being examined by investigators. He urged anyone who knew her or who might know something about her emotions or what she was going through before to the shooting to get in touch with the Madison-area Crime Stoppers.
The names of the deceased have not been made public by authorities. They are both employees and students at the school.
According to Barnes, the family of the shooter has cooperated completely with the inquiry.
According to Barnes, several people have questioned if the gunman specifically targeted victims.
He claimed that everyone was the target of this tragedy. And the threat was the same for everyone.
