‘Shattered’: Three dead, including teacher and student, in US school shooting.

A teenage girl has been revealed as the shooter in an attack at a US school shooting, which left a teacher and another teenage student dead.

Gun fire broke out just before 11am on Monday, US time, at the Abundant Life Christian School in Madison, Wisconsin, over a week out from Christmas.

The private Christian school teaches children from kindergarten through to year 12.

The shooter, who is one of three dead in the incident, was a 17-year-old female student, a law enforcement official told The Associated Press.

Six others have been injured, with two in a critical condition with life-threatening injuries. Four others, including a teacher and three students, were taken to hospitals with non-life threatening injuries.

Two of the survivors have since been released from the hospital, police said, without identifying the victims.

Police earlier confirmed the suspect was a teenage student who attended the Abundant Life Christian School

Officers did not fire any shots after arriving at the school and found the juvenile suspect already dead at the scene, police said. A handgun has been recovered from scene of shooting......

Twas the night before Christmas, a group of kids in Houston TX decided to be like Robinhood.
A Group of Texas Kids Tried to Rob a Man at Gunpoint. He Shot Them Instead
A group of Texas kids allegedly tried to rob a man at gunpoint at an apartment complex, only to be met with gunfire from the victim, leading to injuries and hospitalizations.

On Dec. 23 around midnight, authorities responded to a call about a shooting at a Houston apartment complex, Click 2 Houston reported.

When they arrived, deputies found three juveniles with gunshot wounds and a fourth uninjured child.

The target of the alleged robbery was allegedly approached by the group of children, who threatened him with what appeared to be firearms. The man, reportedly fearing for his life, pulled out his own weapon and began firing at them, as reported by KHOU.

As investigators pieced together the details, authorities believe that the children had planned to rob the man using weapons they initially presented as real. While authorities recovered several guns at the scene, it remains unclear whether the children's weapons were real firearms or BB guns.

Despite their ages, the children were allegedly part of a larger group attempting to carry out the robbery.

The adult involved, identified as the victim/shooter, stayed on the scene and fully cooperated with law enforcement.

Three of the children, aged 12 to 14, were shot and taken to the hospital with one in critical condition. The fourth child and the man involved were detained for questioning.

The Harris County Sheriff's Office is continuing its investigation, and charges against both the juveniles and the man involved are still under review.

I hope that countries around the world are preparing to enforce massive import tariffs on imported US personal weaponry, including handguns and assault rifles.

‘The guy dropped the gun’: Florida man accidentally shoots himself at Walmart, startling weekend shoppers
NORTHEAST MIAMI-DADE, FLA. (WSVN) - Rescue crews took a man to the hospital after he accidentally shot himself with his own firearm while inside the Walmart in Northeast Miami-Dade, officials said.

Witnesses said some people ducked for cover, while others asked what was happening.

As for customers inside the store, they said they’re grateful, because the outcome could have been much worse.

“It’s not the weirdest thing to happen in a Walmart. It’s honestly kind of expected,” said Myra.
