Community grieves while investigation continues following a tragic school shooting in Wisconsin.

A shooting at a Wisconsin school resulted in the death of a teacher and a student, with others wounded. The 15-year-old girl responsible for the attack shot herself after attacking a study hall. The motive is believed to stem from multiple factors, including possible bullying at Abundant Life Christian School, which is being investigated.

The police are examining writings by Natalie Rupnow, the shooter, to understand her actions. Police Chief Shon Barnes emphasized finding the motive as a priority and encouraged the public to provide any relevant information through a tip line.

In addition to the fatalities, six others were injured, with two students in critical condition. A vigil was held to honor the victims, attended by many from the community who shared their grief and support.

The shooter's parents are divorced, sharing custody, though she primarily lived with her father. Law enforcement officials believe a 9mm pistol was used in the shooting.

There is a national conversation about gun control, intensified by the shooting, yet legislative action remains minimal. School shootings in the U.S. are unfortunately common, prompting routine active shooter drills for students.
