FBI Investigates Possible Manifesto in Wisconsin School Shooting
The FBI is investigating a possible manifesto linked to a 15-year-old girl accused of killing two people and injuring six others before taking her own life in a tragic school shooting at Abundant Life Christian School in Madison, Wisconsin.
Natalie Rupnow, a student at the school, allegedly opened fire inside a study hall using a 9mm handgun, according to law enforcement officials. The chaos left two individuals dead and multiple others wounded, including two students in critical condition. Rupnow reportedly died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound while being transported to the hospital.
Madison Police Chief Shon Barnes confirmed that authorities are aware of an online document believed to have been written by Rupnow. The six-page file, titled “War against Humanity,” was posted on X, formerly Twitter, by an unverified user claiming to have received it from Rupnow’s boyfriend. The document lists the author’s name as “Samantha Rupnow,” which police said was a name Natalie used.
“We haven’t been able to verify that it’s authentic,” Barnes stated in an interview with CNN, adding that the FBI is now looking into the document. “We have not yet located the person who posted it, but we’ve shared all available information with federal authorities.”
The motive behind the shooting remains unclear, and investigators are piecing together the events leading up to the tragedy. Police are also exploring how Rupnow accessed the handgun.
“We have spoken with her parents, who are cooperating fully,” Barnes said. “We want to determine if there was any negligence involved, and that’s something we’ll discuss with the district attorney’s office. At this time, however, that does not appear to be the case.”
Authorities revealed that the first emergency call about the shooting came from a second-grade student at the school, highlighting the devastating impact of the attack on the community’s youngest members.
The investigation is ongoing as officials search for answers, while the injured victims continue to receive treatment. Two students remain in critical condition.
Law enforcement and federal investigators are urging the public to refrain from sharing unverified information online as they work to confirm the manifesto’s authenticity and piece together a clear timeline of the events.
The community of Madison has been left reeling from the tragedy, as families and students grapple with grief and shock.
