The Epoch Times Header

The shooting occurred at Abundant Life Christian School in Madison, officials say.

At least three people are dead and several others were injured after a shooting on Dec. 16 at a Christian school in Wisconsin, according to police.

Madison Police Chief Shon Barnes was speaking to reporters when the death toll rose to five. Later, he told reporters that the figure was revised down to three deaths again.

From Barnesโ€™s comments to reporters, itโ€™s not clear how many people were injured.

He also offered no details on the victims but says others were wounded in the shooting at Abundant Life Christian School. The suspected shooter was also found dead, he said earlier on Dec. 16, describing that individual as a โ€œjuvenile.โ€

Officers responded to a call about an active shooter at the Abundant Life Christian School at 10:57 a.m. local time, Barnes said.

โ€œOur officers were responding to a call of an active shooter at the Abundant Life Christian School here in Madison,โ€ Barnes said at a press conference. โ€œWhen officers arrived, they found multiple victims suffering from gunshot wounds.โ€

โ€œ[The shooting] remains an active and ongoing investigation,โ€ officials separately said.

Barnes said in the press conference that he wonโ€™t provide any details on the victims, including their names or if they are staff or students, until their next of kin are notified. He also will not provide details about the suspect.

Police officers who responded to the scene did not fire their weapons, Barnes told reporters.

Multiple elected officials in the state publicly responded to the shooting on social media on the afternoon of Dec. 16.

โ€œWe are praying for the kids, educators, and entire Abundant Life school community as we await more information and are grateful for the first responders who are working quickly to respond,โ€ Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers said in a statement on social media.

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) wrote on social media: โ€œMy sincere condolences and prayers for all the victims of the tragedy at Abundant Life Christian School. I will continue to closely monitor the situation.โ€
