Update: Chief Barnes noted in a live interview that police did not have to fire their weapons upon responding to the scene.
A shooting at Abundant Life Christian School in Madison, Wisconsin, left at least two people dead Monday morning, according to emerging reports.
FOX 2 Detroit reported that police were called to the school just before 11 a.m.
During a live interview, Madison Chief of Police Shon Barnes indicated “a total of about seven persons” were transported from the scene for medical treatment.
Barnes did not describe whether the injured, including fatally injured, were students or staff, but he did say that a juvenile “believed to be responsible” for the incident is deceased in the building.
A social media page for the school posted a brief statement: “Prayers Requested! Today, we had an active shooter incident at ALCS. We are in the midst of following up. We will share information as we are able.”
