On Monday morning, another needless tragedy occurred when a student brought a handgun to Abundant Life Christian School, killing at least two people and wounding eight others:
In total, a student and teacher were killed and six students were injured. Two of them are in critical condition with life-threatening injuries, and four suffered injuries that weren't life-threatening, Madison Police Chief Shon Barnes said at a midafternoon news conference.
Shock and grief reverberated across Wisconsin as news of the shooting at Abundant Life Christian School spread. As police methodically cleared the school, which sits on a 28-acre campus with a preschool and a church, city buses took students to a nearby clinic serving as a reunification point. Some peered out the windows, waving to reporters gathered nearby.

Just before 11 a.m., police responded to a call of an active shooter at the K-12 school at 4901 E. Buckeye Road. Officers found a teen dead, Barnes said. He declined to provide the age and gender of the teen, who was a student at the school, and said a handgun was recovered.
Reports indicate that the fatalities include a student and a teacher. They further indicate that the shooter, a 15-year-old girl, died from a self-inflicted gunshot.
