It’s being reported now by Andy Ngo that the shooter was at 15-year-old female and NOT a transgender pretender. Ngo reports that she was obsessed with school shooters and death.

Here’s what he writes:

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.

Andy Ngo is a reputable source for news so I’m am running with this. If it turns out to be wrong I will delete the post. But I don’t think it will come to that.

That said, it’s bizarre for a female to shoot up a school like this. It will be interesting to find out the motive, but my guess is that it would be a hatred for either the teacher and students she shot or Christianity in general.

UPDATE: CONFIRMED
