will be taken unawares. All children will experience equal levels of anxiety and dread, caused by active shooter drills and school lockdowns, until such time as the randomly selected child/children's luck runs out. So humane.

From 2023

Police gave unclear information on the shooter’s gender. For hours, police identified the shooter as a 28-year-old woman and eventually as Audrey Hale. Then at a late afternoon press conference, the police chief said that Hale was transgender. After the news conference, police spokesperson Don Aaron declined to elaborate on how Hale identified.

Police said Hale was a former student of the school, but it was unclear if Hale had any current affiliation with the school or was related to anyone in the school at the time of the shooting. Police said the shooter had made a detailed map of the school and conducted surveillance of the building before carrying out the massacre.

Police said Hale had two “assault-style” weapons and a pistol when Hale shot through the front door to enter the building. At least two of them were believed to have been obtained legally in the Nashville area, police said. Investigators found a sawed-off shotgun, a second shotgun and other unspecified evidence during a search of Hale’s home.

Three people are dead and others are injured after a shooting Monday at a private Christian school in Wisconsin, including a student who caused the attack, authorities said.

Police say a youth opened fire, killing two people in the final week before Christmas break. Police say the shooter also died. No details on the victims were immediately available.

What to know:

How many are dead? Three people are dead, including the shooter, and seven people were hurt, according to Madison Police. Police previously said a total of five people had died.
