A shooting at Abundant Life Christian School in Madison, Wisconsin, left at least three people dead, including a teenager who police believe was responsible for the shooting. Several other people were injured and taken to hospital for treatment. Police had previously said a total of five people had died, but have since reduced the number to a total of three deaths. The shooter is believed to be a student at the school. according to Madison Police Chief Shon Barnes. The shooting happened just before 11 a.m. CT on Monday at Abundant Life Christian School, which has about 390 students in grades K-12, police said. Some area residents described the scene outside the school, while other parents rushed to the school to meet with their children and get more information. A woman named Bethany, whose daughter studies at the school, said her mother lived nearby and had called to tell her about the major police response. “She told me please stay calm. So I’ve already tried to prepare mentally,” Bethany told reporters. When she heard there was a report of an active shooter at the school, Bethany said she “rushed” to get there and see if her daughter was OK. Her nieces and nephews also attend the school, she added. “Of course I couldn’t go in, but I went behind my mother’s house and talked to her, and like I said, my sister is involved in the school. “So I was able to get a little insight into the school.” What was going on. But she told me they were fine.” Madison resident John Diaz De Leon told reporters he saw students leaving the building Monday morning. “I saw groups of children coming into the church hall from school in groups, probably while they were on lockdown, clearing the building and gradually taking the children out little by little,” he said.
