Breaking: I can report that the deceased mass shooter at Abundant Life Christian School in Madison, Wisc. is a 15-year-old girl named Natalie Lynn Rupnow.
She carried out the mass shooting in the school library, according to a source. She did not identify as trans.
The teen girl used the name "Sam" online and the username "crossixir." She had an extensive online obsession with school shooters and death, particularly the 1999 Columbine High School shooting. Rupnow was a big fan of the KMFDM rock band, which was also referenced by one of the Columbine shooters. (She often wore the shirt of the band.)
Rupnow's online friends identified the X account, which purported to belong to the shooter, soon after news broke of the shooting. The account's last post is of an "okay" hand symbol in the school's bathroom by the library minutes before the shooting.

Natalie Lynn Rupnow is the 15-year-old female student who carried out the mass shooting at Abundant Life Christian School in Madison, Wisc. A teacher and student were killed. Six others were wounded, two with life-threatening injuries.
A purported "sneak peek" of her manifesto was posted on her Discord account, where she discussed a desire to kill all males in a rant inspired by fringe extremist online culture. A screenshot was posted on X by a person who was her Discord friend. The account also posted a mirror selfie photo of Rupnow.
Rupnow has a long, disturbing online history of being obsessed with school shooters and death. She used the moniker "crossixir" online.
Rupnow's Cash App account is a picture of the Columbine shooters. She had an account on "Watch People Die" where she commented on the videos. Her Spotify playlists featured themes of s—icide and killings.

X has censored my thread due to the sensitive details contained in the reporting. One must be at least 18 and logged in to view the content.
New details: The Abundant Life Christian School mass shooting occurred in the study hall on the second floor of the campus, not the first-floor library as I earlier reported.
The X account purported to belong to Natalie "Samantha" Rupnow that posted a photo moments before the shooting, along with a link to a privated Google doc manifesto, has locked down. A post says a friend has taken control of the account.
There was not much content on the account except for two videos. One featured images of a Swedish man who killed people at an elementary school in a Darth Vadar costume. Another was a s—icide at a gun range.
