Police are investigating whether a teenage girl who killed a teacher and fellow student at a school in Madison, Wisconsin, had been bullied prior to the shocking incident.
Police responded to reports of an active
shooter at Abundant Life Christian School just before 11 a.m. on Monday morning and entered the building immediately upon arrival.
The 15-year-old suspect was later
identified by police as Natalie Rupnow. She was pronounced dead when police arrived at the scene of a suspected
self-inflicted gunshot wound, Madison Police Department Chief Shon Barnes said on Monday.
Six others were left injured, including two left two in critical condition with life-threatening injuries.
At a press conference on Tuesday, Barnes said her motive may have been a “combination of factors” and that police were talking to students to determine whether Rupnow had been bullied. The teenager’s family are cooperating with the police.
