Police in Madison, Wisconsin are investigating a shooting that occurred Monday morning at a K-12 private Christian school. The shooting reportedly happened just before 11 a.m., at the Abundant Life Christian School.
Multiple people have reportedly been injured, and roads surrounding the school have been closed off while police are responding.
ABC News reported that, according to Madison police, the shooter is “down.”
The Madison Police Department has clarified that 3 people are deceased, including the shooter, and 6 others are injured.

The police chief said at the time of the shooting, officers were actually participating in a training exercise about 3 miles away, and went straight from the training to the school.
