Speaker 2: All right, three dead is what we're getting out of Madison, Wisconsin.
Speaker 2: This school shooting at Madison's Abundant Life Christian School from
Speaker 2: earlier today.
Speaker 1: We are anticipating another update coming in this hour. We
Speaker 1: will take you there lives should it happen before the
Speaker 1: end of the show. Several injured. We don't really have
Speaker 1: that number nailed down because they don't have it nailed down.
Speaker 1: This is a Christian school K through twelve, about three
Speaker 1: hundred and ninety students. They do say that the shooter
Speaker 1: was a student.
Speaker 2: The chief did also announce that there were no law
Speaker 2: enforcement officers who shot at They did not have to
Speaker 2: fire their weapons when they got on campus because by
Speaker 2: the time they got there it was all said and done.
Speaker 2: They still did their due diligence, obviously clearing the building,
Speaker 2: clearing the locations, clearing the parking lot. And they said
Speaker 2: that they're doing a secondary search of buildings and vehicles
Speaker 2: just out of an abundance of caution. And again, like
Speaker 2: Shannon said, an update coming sometime later this hour.
Speaker 1: The ex wife of a doctor was shot and killed
Speaker 1: outside his medical practice in Woodland Hills has been charged
Speaker 1: with murder.
Speaker 2: They believe this was a murder for higher plot.
Speaker 1: This includes special circumstances of lying and wait murder for
Speaker 1: financial gain as well. She's also facing an assault charge
Speaker 1: stemming from that baseball attack on the doctor just months
Speaker 1: before he was shot and killed.
Speaker 2: A little earthquake, the old two point eight that rattled
Speaker 2: Monterey Park from this morning. No big deal, that's all
Speaker 2: just after ten o'clock if you felt it.
Speaker 1: Thorty's have arrested a guy from Stockton who tried to
Speaker 1: recruit an undercover police officer to work for him as
Speaker 1: a prostitute. Skuy used social media to recruit a woman
Speaker 1: who is actually an officer with the Orange County Human
Speaker 1: Trafficking Task Force.
Speaker 2: I you ever try to hire a prostitute? No, as
Speaker 2: a matter of fact, you mean, in general, the answer
Speaker 2: is still no. Is a different answer would specify? I
Speaker 2: mean the answer is still no at that point. In
Speaker 2: South Korea, the political turmoil continues. South Korea's Constitutional Court
Speaker 2: has begun the process of reviewing the impeachment of their
Speaker 2: president Yun Suck Yule the leader of his party. The
Speaker 2: Han Dong Houn is the leader of the People Power Party.
Speaker 2: He resigned this morning. He had wavered in his support
Speaker 2: of the president. Of course, you remember the president declared
Speaker 2: that short lived martial law earlier this month. In the end,
Speaker 2: the party said that they would support impeaching their own president.
Speaker 2: Last week, just ahead of the vote that took place
Speaker 2: over the weekend, there was.
Speaker 1: A guy caught outside the Pentagon with a loaded gun
Speaker 1: in his car and a device in his underwear that
Speaker 1: would enable the firearm to act.
Speaker 2: Like a machine gun. Can you bring this down for me?
Speaker 2: What good is it doing? And what as good as
Speaker 2: it in his underwear?
Speaker 1: Well, I just don't understand the technology here. The Well,
Speaker 1: the loaded gun in his car is like a remote
Speaker 1: control or.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, it's a physical oh icy that you
Speaker 2: can put it on to the gun on the back
Speaker 2: of the slide. I see, I see it. I guess
Speaker 2: it's the handgun version of a bump stock for the
Speaker 2: bump stock thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, why would you keep it in your underwear because
Speaker 1: it's completely illegal, Oh to turn a sound my automatic
Speaker 1: weapon basically into an automatic weapon.
Speaker 2: I mean it's technically not, but still that's why they don't.
Speaker 2: This guy was driving around with a first of all,
Speaker 2: the loaded gun, yeah, the glock switch, the giggle switch,
Speaker 2: whatever you call it, in his in his pants, underpants,
Speaker 2: and talking on the cell phone the whole time, talking
Speaker 2: on his cell phone. Okay, well he wasn't using the
Speaker 2: blue tooth. I just mean, if you're going to be
Speaker 2: doing dumb things, right, if you're going to put dumb
Speaker 2: parts into your dumb underpants, don't do the dumb things
Speaker 2: to attract the attention of the police. Right, just to guess,
Speaker 2: just as my little there's a new law that's coming
Speaker 2: into California January first, public libraries are prohibited from banning
Speaker 2: books that deal with race, gender, identity, sexual orientation. They
Speaker 2: call it the Freedom to Read Act. It requires libraries
Speaker 2: to develop and make a policy that governs how library
Speaker 2: staff select, acquire, and manage library materials, and they must
Speaker 2: include a process for the public to challenge library materials
Speaker 2: as well.
Speaker 5: Well.
Speaker 1: It was a week fifteen in the NFL, just a
Speaker 1: handful of games to.
Speaker 2: Go, and I didn't know Detroit.
Speaker 1: Was that banged up as they were going into this.
Speaker 1: I also didn't know Dan Campbell's teeth were in.
Speaker 2: Such bad shape. It's so funny. It's so funny that
Speaker 2: that comes into play. I didn't get to see the
Speaker 2: Bills Lions game.
Speaker 1: I heard that the score was not indicative of just
Speaker 1: how far.
Speaker 2: Apart they actually were. Buffalo looked great.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, Josh Allen has had like three games in
Speaker 1: a row of just looking like a freaking superhero.
Speaker 2: You can't ask for that. The timing of it. There
Speaker 2: are a lot can be said about playing with the momentum,
Speaker 2: and you can be as haphazard and shoddy as you
Speaker 2: want to. I mean, the Chiefs last year were one
Speaker 2: of those things where you get halfway through the season
Speaker 2: you're like, they're not even gonna make the playoffs. But
Speaker 2: when you get into late November, into December and January,
Speaker 2: that's when it counts. That's what it counts. And this
Speaker 2: is exactly what he's and that team is. I will
Speaker 2: say this, Detroit's uniform people are crushing it this year.
Speaker 2: That helmet that they were wearing yesterday, like the metallic
Speaker 2: blue helmet with the silk the great it was really
Speaker 2: listen just because I watched football for the fashion of it.
Speaker 1: The Josh Allen thing to me seems it feels a
Speaker 1: little bit like the Lamar MVP season of Yeah, he
Speaker 1: had a great season, but it's going to falter.
Speaker 2: I just don't love that defense as much.
Speaker 1: Detroit had a lot of injuries apparently they not know about,
Speaker 1: and then they lost David Montgomery today and for a
Speaker 1: MC that he suffered yesterday, some sort of injury to
Speaker 1: his MCL.
Speaker 2: You were also talking about Patrick Mahomes and his injury.
Speaker 2: They alleged injury, well they did. The team says it's
Speaker 2: a high ankle spring, okay, which is a very nondescript.
Speaker 2: I mean, I know we see those before and guys
Speaker 2: come back.
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert's played with one of those the entire year.
Speaker 1: About Justin Herbert and the Chargers they had, they just
Speaker 1: seemed hungover from that Chief's loss. It took so much
Speaker 1: out of them because that was a winnable game. If
Speaker 1: they had Lad McConkey last week. He doesn't have anyone
Speaker 1: really to throw it to. But that Tampa Bay Buccaneers team,
Speaker 1: like I was saying earlier, Baker Mayfield's just a winner.
Speaker 1: And Mike Evans is incredible to watch, reminiscent of Jerry Rice.
Speaker 1: Just head and shoulders above any other receiver right now,
Speaker 1: in my opinion, they're legit.
Speaker 2: The Buccaneers are legit. Forty to seventeen was a final
Speaker 2: score in that game. I at one point showed my
Speaker 2: wife an image of Ladd McConkey. He'd just caught the
Speaker 2: ball and he's laying on the ground a little bit,
Speaker 2: and it makes for some reason, that angle made his
Speaker 2: helmet look that much bigger. It already looks like he's
Speaker 2: a little kid wearing a grown man's helmet, but then
Speaker 2: to show him on the sideline without his helmet on,
Speaker 2: he looks like an eleven year old. He's incredible.
Speaker 1: He catches everything, and he had a couple he had
Speaker 1: a couple non catches yesterday late in the game, but
Speaker 1: he he his vertical yesterday on one of those balls.
Speaker 2: I was like, how the hell did.
Speaker 1: That kid get that far off the ground. He's incredible.
Speaker 1: Invisible step ladder, let's see here the Steelers. Steelers fell
Speaker 1: to the Eagles. I think Jacob was the one. He
Speaker 1: was the only one who knew that was gonna happen.
Speaker 2: To the Eagles too, did she? Okay, so we broke
Speaker 2: the mi broke the Mike Tomlin.
Speaker 6: Role.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so we stuck. But Mike Tomlin. We also forget
Speaker 2: this about Mike Tomlin.
Speaker 1: He also was getting a little too close to too
Speaker 1: much of a winning record.
Speaker 2: He likes to lose a couple along the way. Did
Speaker 2: you hear what he told the ref no oh away
Speaker 2: from me? Yeah? Yeah, he was pretty mad. Don't we
Speaker 2: all repeat it? Because it was a fight, wasn't there.
Speaker 2: I mean there was a fight during the game and
Speaker 2: the rest weren't doing anything about it. Something like them.
Speaker 2: There are gonna be two Monday night games tonight Minnesota.
Speaker 2: I don't It doesn't make sense if you're gonna do that.
Speaker 2: Start one at three. Okay, so wait, what are the games?
Speaker 2: You got? Minnesota at Chicago that starts first kickoff just
Speaker 2: after five, and then uh Atlanta in Vegas against the
Speaker 2: Raiders at five thirty. Yeah, I won't watch that, says America.
Speaker 2: Says America.
Speaker 1: Denver comes to town on Thursday, essentially a playoff game
Speaker 1: because Denver Denver second in the division behind the Chiefs
Speaker 1: at nine and five.
Speaker 2: That's gonna be a tough game.
Speaker 1: Bo Nicks is all over the place, tough, tough in
Speaker 1: the trenches.
Speaker 2: With that team.
Speaker 1: Uh, so Chargers have their hands well, but Broncos too.
Speaker 1: It's a short week for both of them, so well,
Speaker 1: and we got to travel.
Speaker 2: The maining schedule for the Chargers is something like it's
Speaker 2: New England and which is.
Speaker 1: The Broncos awful and Gland and the Raiders. The Broncos
Speaker 1: play the Chargers, then they play the Bengals and then
Speaker 1: they play the Chiefs.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 1: Is there a scenario where the Chargers are rooting for
Speaker 1: the Chiefs in that game? That will be nothing for them?
Speaker 1: Is there the scenario which is unfortunate? That's an ugly
Speaker 1: way to watch for me.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Congratulations to Eric and Craig and ten fourteen n D
Speaker 1: on Twitter. Y'all came up perfect with the Chiefs, the Bills,
Speaker 1: the Eagles, and the Packers.
Speaker 2: Hey, don't forget. If you ever miss any portion of

Speaker 1: better than it was. I thought the Seahawks would put
Speaker 1: on a better show.
Speaker 2: Can we do outlaw those Seahawks uniforms place? They're awful?
Speaker 2: They're awful, worst green color. It's hideous and I wasn't
Speaker 2: a fan of.
Speaker 1: I don't like green, bayl and white either. That's also unnaturally.
Speaker 2: Helmet's looked on that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Gino Gino Smith, My god, just when you
Speaker 1: thought that he was not the answer, Sam Howell comes in,
Speaker 1: Holy hell.
Speaker 2: And it gets worse. All right, Gary, Jane, I couldn't
Speaker 2: throw the ball from me to you?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 2: Yeah? So who the hell am I?
Speaker 6: Well?
Speaker 2: When you're also suffering high ankle spraying the s to
Speaker 2: barely open fire at a private Christian school in Madison, Wisconsin. Today,
Speaker 2: let's go live to I've got it right, over here.
Speaker 2: We're going to go live and get an update from
Speaker 2: the police chief.
Speaker 6: I'll just give you.
Speaker 5: A minute to start your live streams or do whatever
Speaker 5: you need to do while you're doing that. My name
Speaker 5: is Chief Sean Barnes s H O N B A
Speaker 5: R N E S. I'm currently the chief of Police
Speaker 5: for the Madison Police Department. I'll be providing a brief
Speaker 5: update of the school shooting that we had today in Madison.
Speaker 5: There's some information that we're not going to release because
Speaker 5: it's still an ever evolving situation. You're here from some
Speaker 5: of our representatives, from our city and from our county,
Speaker 5: and behind me are a lot of people who came
Speaker 5: together today to make sure that the day ended well
Speaker 5: and then everyone else was safe. So if that being said,
Speaker 5: I'll go ahead and start my remarks. Today truly is
Speaker 5: a sad day for Madison and for our country. It
Speaker 5: is a day that I believe will live in our
Speaker 5: collective minds for a very very long time. Heard the
Speaker 5: details today at ten fifty seven am, our team was
Speaker 5: called to the Abundant Life Christian School in reference to
Speaker 5: an active shooter. We know that three people are dead,
Speaker 5: including the suspect shooter. We know that the suspect shooter
Speaker 5: was a teenage student who attended the school. At this time,
Speaker 5: we're not releasing the age or gender of the student
Speaker 5: or any other identifying remarks about the student. Two other
Speaker 5: people have died. That died were a teacher and a
Speaker 5: teenage student. Six other people were injured. Two students are
Speaker 5: now in critical condition in the high hospital and these
Speaker 5: injuries are considered life threatening injuries. Four students are also
Speaker 5: at other area hospitals with non life threatening injuries. But
Speaker 5: these are just the physical injuries that we know about.
Speaker 5: We know that this was the middle of the day
Speaker 5: of a school day, and so there will be other
Speaker 5: injuries that we'll have to face for a very very
Speaker 5: long time, and we're going to do everything we can
Speaker 5: as a community to heal those injuries as well. Many
Speaker 5: of you have asked me about the why of this,
Speaker 5: Why did this happen? What do we know? What was
Speaker 5: the motivation? I do not know, but I will tell
Speaker 5: you this, Our detectives are working hard in an investigative
Speaker 5: process to find out as many answers as we can
Speaker 5: so that we can further prevent these things from happening.
Speaker 5: Not only in this community, but in other communities around
Speaker 5: our country. I think we can all agree that enough
Speaker 5: is enough and we have to come together to do
Speaker 5: everything we can to support our students to prevent press
Speaker 5: conferences like these from happening again and again and again.
Speaker 5: The school building itself is clear. We have cleared the school.
Speaker 5: There's no other threats or danger to the community. We're
Speaker 5: in the process now what we call reunification, and what
Speaker 5: that simply means is making sure that every student that
Speaker 5: was in the school is present and accounted for and
Speaker 5: return to their loved ones. This usually takes a while,
Speaker 5: but we have practice, unfortunately, and practice and practice, and
Speaker 5: that's why we're able to reunify students with their parents
Speaker 5: within hours of a school shooting. The reunification has taking
Speaker 5: place at the Dean Clinic on Road, and I certainly
Speaker 5: thank them for their help. Again, we need our public
Speaker 5: to find an alternate route if that is your normal
Speaker 5: way home. As we get closer to the end of
Speaker 5: the day, please be patient or find another route home.
Speaker 5: We're currently processing the scene, we're interveering those who may
Speaker 5: have been witnesses, and we're obtaining search wants to get
Speaker 5: additional information and Lastly, I want to just say thank
Speaker 5: you to everyone who's standing behind me, the organizations and
Speaker 5: agencies that they represent, the men and women of the
Speaker 5: Madison Police Department and Dane County Sheriff's Office, who selflessly
Speaker 5: ran into a building not knowing what they were going
Speaker 5: to encounter. Many of you know this about me, but
Speaker 5: I started my professional career, if you will, as a
Speaker 5: public school teacher back in nineteen ninety seven, and I
Speaker 5: taught public school for four years. It was one of
Speaker 5: the greatest joy of my life before becoming a police officer,
Speaker 5: and I can tell you what a special place our
Speaker 5: schools are. With that being said, we owe it to
Speaker 5: our community to do everything possible to ensure that it's
Speaker 5: not only a special place, but a safe place as well,
Speaker 5: and we're going to continue to do that. So we
Speaker 5: ask for your patients. As information is coming in, we
Speaker 5: will do the best that we can to bring you
Speaker 5: accurate and timely information. But we want to make sure
Speaker 5: that our public knows that we're working extremely hard on
Speaker 5: this particular incident. There are a lot of people involved,
Speaker 5: and certainly we're going to come together as a community.
Speaker 5: I like to bring up at this time, police Fire
Speaker 5: Chief Chris Carbon.
Speaker 7: Thank you Chief for Barnes. Before I started, the only
Speaker 7: thing I can say is this is not a place
Speaker 7: that any fire chief or any one of us would
Speaker 7: ever want to be. And I can't believe I'm standing
Speaker 7: here today talking about this incident. The Fire Department is
Speaker 7: a part of this community much like all the folks
Speaker 7: standing up here with me today. Our hearts are with
Speaker 7: and our arms are around everybody impacted today and everybody
Speaker 7: within our community. With that, I won't repeat the details
Speaker 7: shared by Chief Barnes, but I will share with you
Speaker 7: the fire department activity for today. Much like Chief Barnes
Speaker 7: mentioned at ten fifty seven, we were also dispatched with
Speaker 7: Engine five and medic five to the same location. Throughout
Speaker 7: the course of the incident, we responded with five engine companies,
Speaker 7: four ladder companies, fifteen ambulances. I would like to take
Speaker 7: a moment and share our gratitude for our county partners
Speaker 7: throughout a multitude of MS and fire agencies that joined
Speaker 7: us in the response.
Speaker 6: Today.
Speaker 7: We all said eleven off duty chief officers that came
Speaker 7: in on this response. It was a tremendous response from
Speaker 7: the fire department. We transported four patients to SAT. We
Speaker 7: transported three patients to the University of Wisconsin Hospitals on
Speaker 7: the arrival of our crews. I can say my gratitude
Speaker 7: to our membership for what they did and their selfless actions.
Speaker 7: Today it's hard for me to place into words what
Speaker 7: they ran into as well.
Speaker 5: They did that immediately, they did that.
Speaker 7: Selflessly, and within a course of fifteen minutes, from the
Speaker 7: first transport to the last transport, all the patients were
Speaker 7: on their way to the hospital. So to our membership
Speaker 7: within the Madison Fire Department and within all the emergency services,
Speaker 7: my gratitude, my recognition of the work that goes into this,
Speaker 7: the training that went into this that again we had
Speaker 7: hoped we would never have to put into practice one
Speaker 7: more time. On behalf of the Madison Fire Department. Our
Speaker 7: hearts are with you, our arms are around you, and
Speaker 7: we will be with you throughout the duration of this.
Speaker 7: So at this point I'll step aside turn over to
Speaker 7: the mayor.
Speaker 3: Thank you, chiefs, both of you. This is an incredibly
Speaker 3: sad day for our community. As you've heard, there is
Speaker 3: no danger to the community at this time, but our
Speaker 3: entire community has been impacted by this tragic incident on
Speaker 3: behalf of the Common Council and the City of Madison staff.
Speaker 3: I want to offer our heartfelt condolences to the victims
Speaker 3: and families and to the whole abundant life community. Our
Speaker 3: focus now is on supporting them and supporting the victims
Speaker 3: and their families, and we will continue to do that
Speaker 3: through the coming days and weeks. I also want to
Speaker 3: thank our first responders and the police, fire, the medical
Speaker 3: staff for their quick action and their life saving efforts.
Speaker 3: As you've heard already, this is a whole of government response.
Speaker 3: It is not just police and fire, It is not
Speaker 3: just City of Madison. We have folks from all around
Speaker 3: the county. We have folks from multiple agencies engaged in
Speaker 3: both the initial immediate response and the ongoing support, and
Speaker 3: will be engaged for days and weeks to come. I
Speaker 3: also want to thank the White House and the Governor
Speaker 3: and others in the federal government and state government for
Speaker 3: reaching out to offer their support and help. We will
Speaker 3: be drawing on resources as needed going forward, but the
Speaker 3: most important thing right now is to make sure that
Speaker 3: we are centering the victims and their families and that
Speaker 3: we are doing whatever we can to support them and
Speaker 3: to help them heal and to lift our entire community
Speaker 3: up through this difficult incident.
Speaker 2: I am on record.
Speaker 3: That I think we need to do better in our country,
Speaker 3: in our community to prevent gun violence. I hope, I
Speaker 3: hoped that this day would never come in Madison. It
Speaker 3: is not something that any mayor any fire chief, any
Speaker 3: police chief, any person in public office ever wants to.
Speaker 2: Have to deal with.
Speaker 3: And so I will ask our entire community and our
Speaker 3: entire country to do whatever we can to make sure
Speaker 3: that no public official ever has to stand in this
Speaker 3: position again. And now invite the counting executive to the podium.
Speaker 4: Good afternoon everyone. Today our community is reeling from the
Speaker 4: heartbreaking and senseless tragedies at Abundant Life Christian School of Madison.
Speaker 4: As a mom who received a text from her son
Speaker 4: at a high school here in the city of Madison,
Speaker 4: wondering if he was safe, I can tell you this
Speaker 4: hits you on the gut. Our community is better than us,
Speaker 4: Our country is better than us. Cannot continue. My heart
Speaker 4: goes out to the victims and their families, and the
Speaker 4: students and the educators, and the list goes on and on.
Speaker 4: Every one of us is affected by this unimaginable and
Speaker 4: unacceptable violence that has hit our community. Today, Dang County
Speaker 4: stands united in grief with the abundant life Christian School community.
Speaker 4: The Sheriff's Department, the Department of Emergency Management, Department of
Speaker 4: Human Services have all been on the front lines. My
Speaker 4: phone has been ringing from people across our state and
Speaker 4: our nation asking what it is that they can do
Speaker 4: to help our community. And right now it is our
Speaker 4: time to be committed to supporting this school, these students,
Speaker 4: and these families, and our first responders who went into
Speaker 4: that building during this devastating time. We must work closely
Speaker 4: with our law enforcement officers and first responders, mental health professionals,
Speaker 4: community leaders, and policymakers to ensure that we are taking
Speaker 4: care of one another. No community should ever have to
Speaker 4: endure such a tragedy, and my administration is going to
Speaker 4: do everything that it can to provide assistance to those
Speaker 4: who have experienced this devastating loss and also do everything
Speaker 4: that we can to prevent such tragedy from occurring. To
Speaker 4: all of those are aggrieving in our community, please know
Speaker 4: that you're not alone. Dan County stands with you. We're
Speaker 4: here to support you in any way possible, Please reach
Speaker 4: out and ask for help. The governor's office as well
Speaker 4: as the mayor's office and I will continue to update
Speaker 4: the public as we learn more. But please understand there
Speaker 4: are many things that we cannot share with you right now.
Speaker 4: This is an active investigation. This is an active case.
Speaker 4: The SSM Health Clinic near the intersection of Buckeye Road
Speaker 4: in Stone Road is the reunification center. I know that
Speaker 4: that has been out, but we need to make sure
Speaker 4: that folks know where it is that they can go
Speaker 4: to be reunited with their children again. In the coming days,
Speaker 4: we are going to make sure that we are supporting
Speaker 4: those that have been most impacted by this. But folks
Speaker 4: reach out, ask for help. This does not need to
Speaker 4: be the reality of our community.
Speaker 2: Thank you. All right, we'll start over here with questions.
Speaker 2: We're listening to a live update this update out of Madison,
Speaker 2: Wisconsin school shooting. We received the call up on.
Speaker 5: Christians fifty seven am. Someone from the from the school
Speaker 5: call now one one to report that there was an
Speaker 5: active shooter. That means something different to us. Obviously, there's
Speaker 5: different protocols that go out tone alerts. Even so that
Speaker 5: even if officers are busy doing other things, they respond.
Speaker 5: One of the things that I do want to note
Speaker 5: is that our training center is about three miles from there.
Speaker 5: We have a special event team medics. Those that have
Speaker 5: worked with the fire department responded to this particular scene
Speaker 5: from their training day. So what began as a training
Speaker 5: day became an actual day, and so that's how this
Speaker 5: call originally came in.
Speaker 2: Nicholas, did you have a question.
Speaker 6: What can you tell us if anything more about this
Speaker 6: shooter and what their motivations were, or a unie contact
Speaker 6: with their family members, anything anything updated on that.
Speaker 5: Sure, it's nothing new that I can tell you about
Speaker 5: the shooter at this time. Again, as as as difficult
Speaker 5: as today is, that's still someone's child that's gone. That's
Speaker 5: still someone that has to deal with what happened today,
Speaker 5: and so we want to make sure that we can
Speaker 5: ensure as much cooperation as we can. You asked me
Speaker 5: about why as I stayed it before. I don't know why,
Speaker 5: and I felt like if we did know why, we
Speaker 5: could stop these things from happening. But what I will
Speaker 5: tell you is, as soon as we are done with
Speaker 5: the investigation, any information that we uncover that will not
Speaker 5: compromise the safety of anyone involved, or compromise the confidentiality
Speaker 5: of any of these children that are involved. Will tell you.
Speaker 5: I just asked for your patience.
Speaker 6: All right, go over there, sir.
Speaker 2: What kind of done was you?
Speaker 5: We know it was a handgun. We know a handgun
Speaker 5: was recovered.
Speaker 2: Was confined to one classroom or did it spread out?
Speaker 5: We know it was confined to one space. I don't
Speaker 5: do not know if it was a classroom or a hallway.
Speaker 5: One of the things that we've gotten very good at,
Speaker 5: certainly different from in my day, is that if you
Speaker 5: do not need to be in a crime scene, you
Speaker 5: do not need to go to a crime scene. And
Speaker 5: so the crime scene and those persons who are involved,
Speaker 5: they have that crime scene lockdown, did not go or
Speaker 5: enter into that crime scene. But if you can imagine
Speaker 5: most schools, the s the students go together, but they
Speaker 5: are segregated, so on each different floor, in each different group,
Speaker 5: and so there's no evidence that anyone else was injured
Speaker 5: that was not in the age group. You know, what
Speaker 5: you said was talking about how school staff responded, what
Speaker 5: the train said. I cannot speak to how the schools
Speaker 5: staff responded. You know, we we did have injuries, but
Speaker 5: it could have always of course, had additional injuries. I
Speaker 5: do not know what the school's protocols are. Again, this
Speaker 5: is a private Christian school. I know that we have
Speaker 5: a very good rapport with MMSD Madison Metropolitan Schools public schools,
Speaker 5: so we have done trainings for them before. But I
Speaker 5: would assume that most of the teachers have the same
Speaker 5: or some similar type of training as a part of
Speaker 5: their certification.
Speaker 2: Courts outline about how many students are in the school.
Speaker 5: Can you confer.
Speaker 2: Altimately how many students?
Speaker 5: I do not know how many students attend the school,
Speaker 5: but their website says that they serve about two hundred families.
Speaker 6: Right in the back white. What kind of sport systems
Speaker 6: you're really made available to you were affect your pride
Speaker 6: the comperience.
Speaker 5: That's a good question. As you heard from our mayor
Speaker 5: and our counter exec we have services within our government
Speaker 5: that will be made available to them. I have a
Speaker 5: lot of confidence that they're going to follow through on
Speaker 5: that and we'll make sure that that persons who need
Speaker 5: to do you guys want to speak to them.
Speaker 4: So Dane County Human Services as well as the Red
Speaker 4: Cross and other consolidated agencies are already on the scene
Speaker 4: and we will continue to be on scene and those
Speaker 4: resources will be bolstered. Again, please reach out. You are
Speaker 4: not alone. We are going to navigate this together, and
Speaker 4: there are people who are affected by this trauma who
Speaker 4: are not in the reunification center or at the school.
Speaker 4: We need folks to be reaching out because we do
Speaker 4: have resources available.
Speaker 2: Did you know if a.
Speaker 4: London Christian Life student do they have afer?
Speaker 5: It's not my knowledge that they had a school resource
Speaker 5: officer that if they did, I would be a police
Speaker 5: officer and I know where they all are and they're
Speaker 5: not in the school right now.
Speaker 2: We've been listening to Chief Sean Barnes Madison, Wisconsin Police
Speaker 2: Department about today's shooting at Abundant Life Christian School there.
Speaker 2: This is a school of just under four hundred students
Speaker 2: between K and twelve grades. Three people were killed. That
Speaker 2: does include the shooter, who he described as a teenage student,
Speaker 2: but that was the only description he gave, not going
Speaker 2: to release the age or the gender. Yeah, that was odd.
Speaker 2: I don't know if that means that it would be
Speaker 2: super easily identifiable, that people would know immediately who it was.
Speaker 2: Based on that, but that would seem hard. But the
Speaker 2: two others at some point very soon, Yeah, two others
Speaker 2: that were killed. One of them was a teacher, and
Speaker 2: then the second person killed by the gunman or the shooter,
Speaker 2: i should say, was a teenage student.
Speaker 1: The wounded had injuries ranging broadly from minor to life threatening.
Speaker 1: So that's six students minor to life threatening.
Speaker 2: He had two of those said to be life threatening condition.
Speaker 2: And he did also mention that this was confined to
Speaker 2: one space. Wasn't clear if it was a hallway, a classroom,
Speaker 2: cafeteria or something like that, but did say that the
Speaker 2: shooting itself was confined to just one space. The fire
Speaker 2: chief got up there and if you heard that emotion
Speaker 2: almost choking back tears as he was describing the situation
Speaker 2: that the fire fighters ended up walking into when they
Speaker 2: were dispatched as well, of course, tasked with getting the
Speaker 2: injured out of there as quickly as possible, which he
Speaker 2: said that they did within ten to fifteen minutes. They
Speaker 2: had all the students out of there. But again, a
Speaker 2: teacher and a teenage student apparently killed in this shooting
Speaker 2: in Madison, Wisconsin. At Abundant Life Christian school, and no
Speaker 2: details about the shooter other than to say that it
Speaker 2: was also a student and that it was a teenager
Speaker 2: using a handgun to affect the violence. So more details
Speaker 2: obviously tomorrow when we come back. You've been listening to
Speaker 2: The Gary and Shannon Show. You can always hear us
Speaker 2: live on KFI AM six forty nine am to one
Speaker 2: pm every Monday through Friday, and anytime on demand on
Speaker 2: the iHeartRadio app.
