A 15-year-old girl fatally shot two people and injured six others at a school in Madison, Wisconsin, before dying from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. This case, while representing a grim statistic in the prevalence of school shootings, stands out due to the shooter's gender. Experts highlight the significance of this case and explore the differences in motivations between male and female school shooters.
A 15-year-old girl died in Madison, Wisconsin, on Monday after killing two people and injuring six others. Authorities believe she died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. This shooting is one of over 320 shootings that have taken place on school grounds this year. While school shooting s are common in the US, this case is unusual because of the perpetrator's gender. Experts say many school shooters 'see themselves' in previous perpetrators, who have historically been men.
Only nine female students have committed a school shooting since 1999. Studies show that male mass shooters are often motivated by anger and grievances with women, while female mass shooters are less likely to be driven by relationship disputes and are more likely to target workplaces
