The alleged shooter was also found dead. Early reports indicate the shooter was a student at the Abundant Life Christian School.“Officers located a juvenile who they believe was responsible for [the] deceased in the building,” said Capt. Shon Barnes of the Madison Police Department to reporters. 'We have to do a little bit better.'Police said the shooting broke out at about 11 a.m. at the school, which serves grades K-12. "We're still going through, collecting evidence, collecting information, making sure that our community is safe from what is a sad day for our community and for our country," said Barnes.
