A school shooting in Wisconsin that left a student and teacher dead has revealed a possible connection to a man in California who was allegedly planning an attack on a government building.
The shooter who killed a student and teacher at a religious school in Wisconsin brought two guns to the school and was in contact with a man in California whom authorities say was planning to attack a government building, according to authorities and court documents that became public Wednesday.
Police were still investigating why the 15-year-old student at Abundant Life Christian School in Madison shot and killed a fellow student and teacher on Monday before shooting herself, Madison Police Chief Shon Barnes told the Associated Press Wednesday.

Police don't know if anyone was targeted in the attack or if the attack had been planned in advance, the chief said.
