Three people are dead and others are injured after a shooting Monday at a private Christian school in Wisconsin, including the child who caused the attack, authorities said.
Police say a youth opened fire at a private Christian school Monday morning in Madison, Wisconsin, killing two people in the final week before Christmas break. Police say the shooter also died.
No details on the victims were immediately available. Abundant Life Christian School is nondenominational and has about 390 students, from kindergarten through high school, according to its website.
“We are praying for the kids, educators, and entire Abundant Life school community as we await more information and are grateful for the first responders who are working quickly to respond,” Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers said in a statement.
Agents from the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives have responded to the scene to assist local law enforcement.
