At approximately 10.57am local time, police responded to an active shooter situation at Abundant Life Christian School in Madison, Police Chief Shon Barnes said.
When officers arrived, they found and began administering help to multiple victims with gunshot wounds, “about seven” of whom were transported to local hospitals.
Police Chief Barnes said numerous area officers responded to the attack, adding that his officers had most recently trained for a school shooting scenario “approximately two weeks ago.”
No weapons were fired by police, he said.
The body of a “juvenile” suspect believed to have carried out the shooting was found in the building, Barnes said. He did not comment on the ages or the identities of the victims, saying police were in the process of notifying their families.
Abundant Life, a nondenominational K–12 school founded in 1978, offers its approximately 390 students “academic excellence in a Christ-centered environment,” according to the school’s website.
