As community members gathered on Tuesday evening for a vigil to remember the victims of a shooting that took place at Abundant Life Christian School (ALCS) in Madison, Wisconsin, investigators continued to search for answers as to the shooter’s motives.
On Monday (Dec. 16), a 15-year-old student of the ALCS opened fire on classmates and teachers, killing one student and one teacher and injuring six others before dying from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Of those injured two remain in critical condition. The others suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
The identities of the victims have not been disclosed out of respect for their privacy.
The shooting reportedly took place during a study hall hour in a classroom where students from multiple grades were present.

“Today truly is a sad day for Madison and for our country,” Madison Police Chief Shon Barnes told reporters during a press briefing on Monday. “It is a day that I believe will live in our collective minds for a very, very long time.”
Barnes told ABC News that the shooter’s parents are cooperating with authorities, and investigators are seeking to determine if bullying was a factor in the shooter’s motivation.
According to Reuters, police are examining the shooter’s cell phone, computer, and online posts. They are also verifying a possible manifesto that she left behind.
On Tuesday, Madison Metropolitan School District reported receiving multiple false threats, which are commonly referred to as “swatting.” Police do not believe any current threats are legitimate.
