He said that the police were notified shortly before 11 am and didn’t shoot with a weapon once they fell into school. Barnes suggested that the shooter had died of suicide.

“They found a responsible person who was not died,” said the boss.

The police blocked the roads after school. Federal agents were on the spot to assist local law enforcement agencies.

“We pray for children, teachers and the entire Life Life community, waiting for more information and we are grateful for the first respondents who work quickly on the answer,” said Wisconsin Tony Evers governor in a statement.

In a statement, the White House said that President Joe Biden was informed concerning the shooting and officials were in contact with local authorities to offer support.

The Christian school is abundant.

John Diaz de Leon, who lives nearby and attends the neighboring city church, told WMTV-TV that he heard an intense block of sirens when the police replied.

“I didn’t know that there were so many teams in Madison. We saw a few guys with long pistols. They went to school with a dog, “De Leon said concerning the police. “Later I saw groups of children leaving school to a church sanctuary.”
