3 dead, 7 wounded in a shooting at a Wisconsin school

Multiple injuries have been reported Monday in a shooting at a Christian school in Wisconsin, police said.

The shooting occurred at Abundant Life Christian School in Madison, the state capital, police said.

“This remains an active and ongoing investigation,” Madison police said in a statement. “More information will be released as it is available. We currently need people to avoid the area.”

Police had blocked off roads around the school Monday afternoon.

Agents from the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives have responded to the scene to assist local law enforcement.

I wouldn't be bothered by this except that for awhile I attended the church that is now associated with this school. Even the "Christian" schools aren't safe any more, apparently.

Where born children are sacrificed for gun manufacturing profits but zygotes get preference over dying women.

I am so disgusted with the violence, anger, hatred, and easy access to any gun anyone wants in this country.

Automatically for 10 years. Deport the rest of their kids. Put their guns in a gun case in their prison cell with them.

.... this shooting must be all about God's Plan. This is a Devine result of man's Maker, Doer, and Savior. Let us not second guess the workings of The Almighty.

May God Bless the Second Amendment.
Amen.

Here is an article where they claim it is due to both no prayer (a lie, just no mandatory one lead my educators) and not enough guns. https://www.afa.net/the-stand/culture/2018/02/why-school-shootings-not-enough-god-not-enough-guns/
We should WhatAbout this one to them.

I feel bad for kids subjected to this substandard education and misinformation.

not a male with an AK45.

The grade school and the high school are separate. The shooting happened in the library of the high school, so its likely that the very young did not hear or see anything.

A teacher and the shooter were dead when the police arrived. She apparently killed herself. Another teen died shortly thereafter. There are two teens in critical condition at local hospitals. There are other injured teens but all are expected to recover.

This could be someone who was despondent over a high school breakup...
