Abundant Life Christian School has become the latest Christian school to suffer from a school shooting. On the morning of December 16th, a female shooter killed a student and teacher along with injuring six others before committing suicide with her own weapon, which appears to have been a 9mm pistol, not a rifle. Two of the six injured were reported to be in critical condition.
Abundant Life Christian School has a student body of around 420 students and services pre-school through high school. Police have not yet released the names of the victims, citing the need to contact families first while they have refused to release the name of the shooter thus far.
The Shooter
Several online, independent sources have identified the shooter as Natalie Lynn Rupnow, who went by Samantha or Sam. Sources would include Andy Ngo, who reports her to have been 15, not 17 as initially cited by the police.
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.
Pictures of the shooter make it difficult to discern whether she is trans, nonbinary, or otherwise nonconforming which has caused confusion over whether this is another trans shooter, akin to Audrey Hale who assaulted Covenant Christian School in 2023. The video of the attack (which also shows the suicide) appears to show her with cropped hair. Her general androgynous appearance suggests some mental issues with regard to gender but there is no evidence that the shooter was a transvestite as initial social media posts suggested. The parallels to the Columbine shooters are rather disturbing and seemingly not coincidental.
Ngo would claim that she received the gun from her father as a birthday gift. He provided several pictures of Rupnow with the handgun as well as one with her at the range.
Screenshots of a supposed manifesto have been circulating in which the shooter wrote six pages of incredibly unhinged prose to declare her intentions.
The paragraphs are very much a stream of consciousness in which the shooter castigates her parents while viewing humanity as “scum.” Early on, she fantasized about the deaths of those around her and branded herself as an outcast. On page two, Rupnow declares “I will always hate humanity and it will never be overruled.” She then claims she is part of “the real thought and the real revolution.”
When introducing herself, she claimed to have planned on “shooting myself awhile ago” but decided it was better for “evolution” that she commit the shooting instead of just killing herself. It is unclear whether she meant “Revolution” since the term is repeatedly used throughout the available screenshots.
The manifesto is a rather angsty, incoherent mess that conveys a hatred for the world around her which she used to justify committing the shooting.
Conclusion
As society becomes more mentally disturbed, school shootings have become more commonplace. There is a known connection between mass shooters and the use of SSRI medications and antidepressants, and while nothing is confirmed with regard to Rupnow’s medical history, it cannot be ignored how society is breeding these shooters via chemical toxins and the culture. The manifesto does mention therapy. Just like with Audrey Hale, Rupnow appears to have been somewhat affected by the gay agenda with regard to her apparent gender-nonconforming presentation and the use of an alternate, chosen name.
Much of the reporting for this shooting came from independent sources, as the mainstream media seems resolved to withhold the details regarding this shooting, the more of which beg for further inquiries as to how a girl became so disturbed to commit such atrocity.
This is a developing story.

Another site shows her ranting against “internalized patriarchy” and arguing for killing all men. She’s the Abigail that Doug Wilson was wanting to see more of unfortunately. Doug got his disgusting wish.
