Small, tight-knit community in Madison, Wisconsin, reeling from school shooting as authorities continue to seek answers
CNNCNN — Hundreds gathered outside the Wisconsin State Capitol on Tuesday night despite the freezing temperatures to remember victims of a private school shooting that left one teacher and a student dead and wounded six others. In an interview with CNN, Angel Brube, a seventh grader at Abundant Life Christian School, said he knew the teacher well and described her as “kind and caring” and “a really good person.” Two people who were injured in the shooting are in critical condition with “life-threatening injuries,” while two are stable and remain in the hospital and two others were discharged, according to city officials. The documents reveal that her parents “divorced and remarried multiple times” and that their custody agreements “sometimes forced her to move between their homes every two to three days.” Rupnow’s parents – Jeff and Mellissa Rupnow – have not responded to repeated requests for comment by the Washington Post or CNN. Barnes said previously investigators are looking at “if the parents may have been negligent.” He also said the parents are cooperating and as of Monday night, investigators “have no reason to believe that they have committed a crime at this time.” The mayor of Madison said it is too early to comment on if the parents of the shooter will face criminal charges. Barnes said previously investigators are looking at “if the parents may have been negligent.” He also said the parents are cooperating and as of Monday night, investigators “have no reason to believe that they have committed a crime at this time.” Links to shooting club: Jeff Rupnow, Natalie’s father, had posted a photo on Facebook of his daughter at a shooting range in August.
