In Wisconsin, a 15-year-old girl identified as Natalie Rau, who went by the name Samantha, carried out a school shooting at a small Christian school in Madison. She killed a teacher and a fellow student and injured six others before turning the gun on herself. The incident is notable as only 3% of mass shootings in the US are committed by females. The first alert to the authorities came from a young pupil aged seven or eight. Two students remain in critical condition. President Biden has called for stricter gun control laws in response to the incident, although past efforts have been hindered by the NRA's influence. The police are investigating the motive and how the girl accessed the weapon.
