A 14-year-old girl opened fire at Abundant Life Christian School in Madison, Wisconsin, killing a student and a teacher before taking her own life. Two other students remain in critical condition.
The shooter at a religious school in Wisconsin had two handguns but used only one at the Abundant Life Christian School in Madison, shooting and killing a fellow student and a teacher on Monday before shooting herself, Madison Police Chief Shon Barnes said. Two other students who were shot are in critical condition. Police are calling the shooter Rubi Patricia Vergara, 14, of Madison.
She was a freshman at the school and 'an avid reader, loved art, singing and playing keyboard in the family worship band,' according to her obituary. Police, with the assistance of the FBI, are investigating online records and speaking with her parents and classmates to determine if the attack was planned. But police have yet to release the names of the two people she killed. Barnes said the medical examiner would release those names, but the state's crime victims privacy law would bar releasing the names of those injured. Police don't know if anyone was targeted, or if the attack had been planned in advance. 'I do not know if if she planned it that day or if she planned it a week prior,' Barnes said. 'To me, bringing a gun to school to hurt people is planning. And so we don't know what the premeditation is.' While Vergara had two handguns, Barnes said he does not know how she obtained them and declined to say who purchased them, citing the ongoing investigation
