Wisconsin authorities said that a second-grade student called 911 to report the shooting at a private religious school that left two people dead and six others injured .
“I’m going to let that soak in for a minute,” Madison Police Chief Shon Barnes said at a news conference Monday night after the deadly attack at Abundant Life Christian School. “A second-grade student called 911 at 10:57 a.m. to report a shooting at school.”
Authorities arrived on the scene within minutes of the call and found a teenage student and teacher killed, Barnes said. The shooter had already shot herself and died on the way to the hospital, Barnes added.
Five students and one teacher were injured in the shooting. Two of the students were rushed to the hospital in critical condition but have stabilized. The others had non-life-threatening injuries, according to Barnes.
The shooting happened inside a study hall period with students from multiple grades, Barnes confirmed. Abundant Life is a K-12 school with around 390 students, according to the school website .
