Mass School Shooting in Madison, WI

My aunt works there too (she is safe). I pray your friend and her children are ok.

She was able to finally contact me back last night - she and her kids are safe! I’m so glad your aunt is as well.

Madison is such a small town in so many ways. One of my friends works with the shooter's father.

Their poor family.

I'm so happy to hear that she and the kids are safe. What a terrible day for all of them .

A second grader made the 9-11 call that a 15 year old was shooting people.

They updated the information to say that a second grade teacher not student did the first 911 call

Some information that has come out said "police have not confirmed the authenticity of a document that might have been written by (shooter's name) and could shed light on her actions." “Identifying a motive is our top priority, but at this time it appears the motive was a combination of factors”

With a female shooter being so rare it will be something to see if the factors mentioned are what we expect (bullying, outcast, etc) or something unexpected. Hopefully the two critically injured make it through, so sad for the two who have died (number excluding the shooter). I would totally back the decision if they made it to cancel classes for the rest of the week that's not something you just want to resume classes immediately after for

A little bit of warmth in an otherwise terrible week. I am a member of the BPOE (Elks Club) here in Madison and one of our members is training a service dog puppy. We held a fundraiser for Custom Canines a couple of weeks ago and I met many of these dogs. They were all absolutely wonderful. It's so nice to see an organization you support supporting others.

Here is a link to her manifesto & her boyfriend's account.
If all is as he says I feel very badly for him but I wonder if there
will be repercussions for him by releasing it.

I think they arrested the boyfriend that posted her manifesto.
Does not sound good:

A 20-year-old California man has been detained on suspicion of "plotting" to coordinate a mass shooting at a government building in conjunction with the Madison school shooter.
FBI agents detained Alexander Paffendorf, of Carlsbad, California.
"During an FBI interview, Paffendorf admitted to the FBI agents that he told Rupnow that he would arm himself with explosives and a gun and that he would target a government building,"
