What can you tell us about the school involved? Has there been any previous history of incidents or problems with it?
Hey there -
Here is a snippet about the school from their website (currently cannot open their site.
“A community Christian school with the vision of providing academic excellence in a Christ-centered environment…”

It’s a small Christian school on the East side of Madison, WI. As far as I know, there have been no public threats or incidents in the past. The only thing I can think of was the student with a gun at a Mt Horeb middle school earlier this year. This was about 30 mins away.
 
“Officers located a juvenile who they believe was responsible for this deceased in the building,” he said.

“We believe the shooter was a student at the school, yes,” the chief later confirmed when asked.

man I hate to read that we've had yet another school shooting. This was never something we or our parents thought about when I was a child. It just wasn't a worry back in the 60s and 70s. In many ways I think it is harder to be a kid nowadays. screen time, social media, threats like school shootings. Praying for all involved.
 

The Madison Police Department confirmed that that three people are killed, including the suspected shooter, and six people are injured.

Police Chief Shon Barnes was speaking to reporters earlier today when it appeared the death toll rose to five mid-press conference, but police now say that was incorrect.
