Wisconsin school shooter had 2 guns and got messages from man accused of plotting his own attack

MADISON, Wis. — The shooter who killed a student and teacher at a religious school in Wisconsin brought two guns to the school and was in contact with a man in California who authorities say was planning to attack a government building, according to authorities and court documents that became public Wednesday. Police were still investigating why the 15-year-old student at Abundant Life Christian School in Madison shot and killed a fellow student and teacher on Monday before shooting herself, Madison Police Chief Shon Barnes said. The student who was killed in Monday’s school shooting was identified in an obituary released Wednesday as Rubi Patricia Vergara, 14, of Madison. The school’s communication director, Barbara Wiers, said in a statement Wednesday evening that Vergara had attended the school since kindergarten.
