A school shooting in Wisconsin that killed a student and teacher has been linked to a California man who was planning an attack on a government building. Both individuals were in contact with each other prior to the Wisconsin shooting.
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 who 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. Two other students who were shot remained in critical condition on Wednesday.

The order requires the man to turn his guns and ammunition into police within 48 hours unless an officer asks for them sooner because he poses an immediate danger to himself and others. Carlsbad is located just north of San Diego. According to the order, the man told FBI agents that he had been messaging Natalie Rupnow, the Wisconsin shooter, about attacking a government building with a gun and explosives. The order doesn't say what building he had targeted or when he planned to launch his attack. It also doesn't detail his interactions with Rupnow except to state that the man was plotting a mass shooting with her.CBS' San Diego affiliate KFMB-TV reported that law enforcement searched the man's home Tuesday night after the order was signed by the judge. Police, with the assistance of the FBI, were scouring online records and other resources and speaking with the shooter's parents and classmates in an attempt to determine a motive for the shooting, Barnes told the AP. Police don't know if anyone was targeted in the attack or if the attack had been planned in advance, the chief said. Police said the shooting occurred in a classroom where a study hall was taking place involving students from several grade
