A gunman killed at least two people and injured three more before turning his weapon on himself at a Christian school in Madison, Wisconsin, on Monday, according to local news reports.
In a post on Facebook, the Madison Police Department said that it was investigating a shooting at Abundant Life Christian School, a private institution that teaches children from kindergarten up to 12th grade. A gunman shot at least four people dead and injured five more before committing suicide at a Christian school in Madison, Wisconsin, on Monday, according to police.
“Multiple injuries have been reported,” the department said, adding that “this remains an active and ongoing investigation” and that all roads around the school have been closed. The incident took place at Abundant Life Christian School, a private institution that teaches children from kindergarten up to 12th grade.
At least two people have been killed and three injured, local journalist Dan O’Donnell wrote on X, citing a law enforcement source. According to O’Donnell’s source, the gunman “is dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.” The gunman, a student at the school, opened fire shortly before 11am, Madison Madison Police Chief Shon Barnes told reporters. Two victims were killed immediately, while seven others were injured, Barnes said.
Multiple students have been taken to local hospitals, while one staff member is being treated for a potentially fatal injury, CNN reported. The shooter, whom police have not named, shot himself dead as police officers arrived on the scene to intervene.
Two of those injured died of their wounds shortly after being taken to nearby hospitals for treatment, a police spokesman said in a subsequent update.

The incident took place six months after police shot and killed a 14-year-old who tried to break into a middle school in Mount Horeb, 20km (13 miles) from Madison. Prosecutors declined to press charges against the two officers who shot the teen, stating that he refused repeated requests to drop a realistic-looking air rifle he was holding.The incident took place six months after police shot and killed a 14-year-old who tried to break into a middle school in Mount Horeb, 20km (13 miles) from Madison.
