The city of Madison, Wisconsin, was left reeling after a school shooting on Monday killed one student and one teacher and injured several others. The shooter, identified by police as a 15-year-old female student, died of a self-inflicted gunshot after the attack at Abundant Life Christian School. Survivors of the shooting — some as young as 7 and 8 years old — recalled screaming in the hallways of the school, saying they were “really scared” and “really sad.” It remains unclear why the suspect pulled out a handgun and opened fire at her peers, police said. The Wisconsin shooting was the 83rd school shooting recorded in 2024, surpassing 2023 for the most school shootings in a single year since We began tracking such incidents in 2008.
