What we know and don't know regarding the Madison, Wisconsin, school shooting

Today truly is *** sad day for Madison and for our country. It is *** day that I believe will live in our collective minds for *** very, very long time. Here are the details today at 10:57 a.m. our team was called to the abundant life Christian school. In reference to an active shooter. We know that three people are dead including the suspect shooter. We know that the suspect shooter was *** teenage student who attended the school at this time. We're not releasing the age or gender of the student or any other identifying remarks about the student. Two other people have died uh that died were *** teacher and *** teenage student, six other people were injured. Two students are now in critical condition in the hospital and these injuries are considered life threatening injuries. Four students are also at other area hospitals with non life threatening injuries, but these are just the physical injuries that we know about. We know that this was the middle of the day of *** school day. And so there will be other injuries that we'll have to face for *** very, very long time and we're gonna do everything we can as *** community to heal those injuries as well. Many of you have asked me about the why of this. Why did this happen? Uh What do we know? What was the motivation? I do not know. But I will tell you this, our detectives are working hard in the investigative process to find out as many answers as we can so that we can further prevent these things from happening, not only in this community but in other communities around our country. I think we can all agree that enough is enough and we have to come together to do everything we can to support our students to prevent press conferences like these from happening again and again and again, the school building itself is clear, we have cleared the school, there's no other threats or danger to the community. We're in the process now of what we call reunification and what that simply means is making sure that every student that was in the school is present and accounted for and returned to their loved ones.
