Madison: A shooting at Abundant Life Christian School in Madison, Wisconsin, on Monday left five people dead, including the suspected shooter, and at least five others injured, authorities confirmed.

The incident occurred at the private school, which serves around 400 students from kindergarten through 12th grade. Madison Police Chief Shon Barnes stated during a press conference that the suspected shooter, identified as a juvenile, was found dead when officers arrived at the scene.

Emergency services responded with a large presence, including police, ambulances, and fire vehicles. Authorities confirmed that at least five individuals were transported to nearby hospitals for treatment.

"This remains an active and ongoing investigation," Madison Police said in a statement. There is currently no information on the motive behind the shooting.

Gun control and school safety remain significant concerns in the United States, as the frequency of such incidents has increased in recent years. According to the K-12 School Shooting Database, there have been 322 school shootings in the U.S. this year, the second-highest since the database began tracking incidents in 1966.
