The teen girl who fatally shot a student and teacher and left two more pupils clinging to life at a private Christian school in Madison, Wis., on Dec. 16 has been identified. Police said Natalie “Samantha” Rupnow, a 15-year-old student at the K-12 Abundant Life Christian School, brought a handgun to campus and opened fire around 11 a.m.
Fifteen-year-old Natalie “Samantha” Rupnow, who killed a teacher and a student at a Wisconsin Christian school on Tuesday, is a remarkably rare case of a female shooter, according to law enforcement data.on 345 active-shooter incidents in the US from 2000 to 2019 found that just 13 of the shooters — or just 3.7% — were women.
An X account believed to belong to Rupnow posted a person flashing the “OK” sign with their hand — a gesture linked to other school shooters — minutes before she began shooting. Unlike their male counterparts, female mass shorters are less motivated by personal relationships and are more likely than more to work as a team “especially when engaging in ideologically motivated attacks,” Researchers Jason Silva and Margaret Schmuhl wrote in an article for “Journal of Mass Violence Research” in 2021.
