Police say a 15-year-old student opened fire inside a study hall at a small Christian school in Wisconsin, killing a teacher and teenager. Monday's shooting prompted a swarm of police officers responding to a second grader’s 911 call.
Negotiators say Israel and Hamas are inching toward a ceasefire deal.
Police said the shooter, identified as Natalie Rupnow, was found with a self-inflicted gunshot wound when officers arrived and died en route to a hospital. Barnes declined to offer additional details about the shooter, partly out of respect for the family. “I don’t know why, and I feel like if we did know why, we could stop these things from happening,” he told reporters.
The first 911 call to report an active shooter came in shortly before 11 a.m. First responders who were in training just 3 miles away dashed to the school for an actual emergency, Barnes said. They arrived three minutes after the initial call. Children and families were reunited at a health clinic about a mile from the school. Parents pressed children against their chests while others squeezed hands and shoulders as they walked side by side.
“As soon as it happened, your world stops for a minute. Nothing else matters,” Highman said. “There’s nobody around you. You just bolt for the door and try to do everything you can as a parent to be with your kids.”
