Emergency vehicles are parked outside the Abundant Life Christian School in Madison, Wis., following a shooting on Dec 16, 2024. WASHINGTON: A 15-year-old female student was identified by police as the assailant who opened fire on Monday at a school in the US state of Wisconsin, where a fellow student and teacher were killed and the suspected shooter was found dead.
"She was a student at the school, and evidence suggests she died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound," he added. A handgun was recovered at the scene, Barnes said, adding that the suspect's family was cooperating with the police investigation. "We heard them and then some people started crying and then we just waited until the police came and then they escorted us out to the church," said the child, who was not identified.
US President Joe Biden condemned the shooting as"shocking and unconscionable" and said the tragedy underscored yet again the need for tighter gun laws. The shooting happened in the final week of classes before students head to Christmas holidays, said Barbara Wiers, the school's director of elementary and school relations.
