Wisconsin police go quiet on school shooting as search for answers continues

MADISON, Wis. (AP) โ€” Wisconsin police did not plan any public updates Wednesday on the extremely rare religious school shooting that killed a teacher and a student and wounded six others, a day after the cityโ€™s mayor chastised reporters and urged them to leave victims alone.

Police have been tight-lipped about why a 15-year-old student at Abundant Life Christian Christian School shot and killed a fellow student and teacher on Monday, before shooting herself. Two other students who were shot remained in critical condition on Wednesday.

Tension over police not releasing additional information spilled over into a news conference on Tuesday, where Madison Police Chief Shon Barnes left without taking questions. Madison Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway grew increasingly terse in her responses as reporters asked questions she could not answer.

The police department has had to correct some key misstatements since Monday, including that three and not five people had died and that a second-grade teacher, not a second-grade student, called 911.

We all know if a straight white male had been the perp, they would be tripping over themselves to release information. Including the motive.

‘Search for Answers Continues’

Search for a coverup is more likely.

“It CAN’T POSSIBLY be what it really is, it MUST be some other reason! We’ll have to blame straight white men somehow!” - what they’re doing.

It had to fit into the Abundant Gun Grabbing narrative or they shut up.

Earlier reports indicate she believed ALL males should be taken out. At 15, which dark web site would push that?

Is there a coverup with CIA involvement?

These days, it’s usually on the list.

We know the press, we know their corruption, we know their lying, and because of this, we’ll await true news from believable (e.g., NOT the traditional media) sources. Of course, we have our suspicions, which usually turn out to be correct.

Maybe they can explain why they used a SWAT team to destroy her fathers house, knock down the door, and throw in some grendades for no reason, instead of knocking on the door to talk with the grieving father.

That stuff read like she’d had a copy of Andrea Dworken’s Scud Manifesto.

Investigators are as baffled as trying to figure out the motive(s) for Islam terrorism or what is causing all the excess deaths after the vax was given.

Too bad they won’t ever find the answers.

They havenโ€™t released the names of the victims? Surely everyone knows who they areโ€ฆ.

Weird.

Who are the two deceased?

What is the fathers story?

Where did she get the firearm?

Apparently the local reporters aren’t doing their job. Or what used to be a reporter’s job.

โ€œBy that time, Natalie, just 12 years old, was going to therapy sessions that were meant to help determine which parent she would spend her weeks with, according to court records.โ€

Therapy may be the wrong concept. For the moment it appears the counseling was likely quite limited in focus to facilitating the courtโ€™s shared custody orders. What has appeared on social media may never have been disclosed, much less addressed.

โ€œIt is absolutely none of yโ€™alls business who was harmed in this incident,โ€ (Madison Mayor) Rhodes-Conway said. โ€

Interesting.

I find it very unlikely that a fifteen year old attending a Christian school would be exposed to radical theory at school making one wonder where she was radicalized and by whom.
