MADISON, Wisconsin-A teacher and teenage student were killed and six students were injured in a shooting at Abundant Life Christian School in Madison, Wisconsin on Monday.

The 15-year-old suspect was a teenage student at the school, and is also dead, police said. The suspect used a handgun, a 9mm pistol, and took her own life after shooting the others, authorities said.

A motive is not clear, Madison Police Chief Shon Barnes said at a news conference.

Just before 11 a.m., police responded to a call of an active shooter at the K-12 school at 4901 E. Buckeye Road. Officers found a teen and teacher dead, as well as the female shooter, and recovered a handgun, authorities said. 

The tragic shooting comes on the heels of the 12th anniversary of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Connecticut on Dec 14, 2012 that claimed the lives of 20 adults and six children.

Congress passed a bipartisan gun safety bill over two years ago, which President Joe Biden signed into law in June 2022. The law enhances background checks for gun purchasers ages 18-21, makes obtaining firearms through straw purchases or trafficking a federal offense, and clarifies the definition of a federally licensed firearm dealer.

In a statement, President Biden called the school shooting in Madison, Wisconsin "shocking and unconscionable," and demanded action from Congress.

Some 205 school shootings have been recorded in the United States in 2024 alone.

Former Cleveland councilman Basheer Jones Clevelandurbannews.com and Kathywraycolemanonlinenewsblog.com   By Kathy Wray Coleman, associate publisher, editor Investigative article CLEVELAND, Ohio — After taking a plea deal and pleading guilty late last year to federal public corruption charges and agreeing to pay restitution, former Cleveland Ward 7 Councilman Basheer Jones is facing sentencing on Tues, April 1 before U.S. District Court Judge J. Phillip Calabreze, a Republican appointed to the federal bench in the Northern District of Ohio in 2020 by President Donald Trump during his first term in office. And while prosecutors are calling for prison time, some greater Cleveland Black leaders, like former HUD secretary Marcia L. Fudge, and some Black community activists say probation is more appropriate, given Jones' overall record in support of the community and because similarly situated White elected officials traditionally get off easy and often are not even prosecuted at a...

Cleveland Ward 1 Councilman Joe Jones Clevelandurbannews .com and   Kathywraycolemanonlinenewsblog.com By Kathy Wray Coleman, editor, associate publisher CLEVELAND, Ohio- Cleveland Ward 1 Councilman Joe Jones has sent a letter to Cuyahoga County Democratic Party Chairman David Brock requesting that he cancel an upcoming Democratic Party Executive Committee meeting where Brock says he wants the county Democratic Party to reverse its August endorsement of Jones, who is Black and up for reelection this year via the 2025 nonpartisan election for mayor and city council members.  Ward 1 is Cleveland's second largest voting bloc of its 17 wards with its staunch middle-class segment of east side Black voters, and it is the city's largest Black voting bloc. The primary is Sept. 9 and follows a population-based redistricting process led by Council President Blaine Griffin that was controversial at best and reduces council from 17 to 15 members beginning in 2026 per the city charter.
