Shooting at Wisconsin Christian school leaves at least 3 dead, 7 hospitalized: police

At least three people were killed Monday in a mass shooting at the Abundant Life Christian School in Madison, Wis., including the juvenile shooter, police said. 

Madison Fire Chief Chris Carbon said at least seven other people have been transported to local hospitals, and Police Chief Shon Barnes said that includes two students who are in critical condition, according to CNN. 

Barnes also said the shooter is among those who have been pronounced dead. Police corrected an earlier statement that said five had died, NBC News reported.

Police announced at a press conference that a teacher and a student were killed by the shooter, who was a teenage student at the school. 

Multiple outlets have reported that the shooter was a 17-year-old female student.

Video footage on social media showed dozens of police cars and firetrucks outside the building on Monday.

Police also said the incident "remains an active and ongoing investigation." Authorities from the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives were also dispatched.

“We are praying for the kids, educators, and entire Abundant Life school community as we await more information and are grateful for the first responders who are working quickly to respond,” Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers said in a statement.
