One Year Later, Abundant Life Christian School Remembers Victims of Deadly Shooting
State Rep. Shelia Stubbs proposes bills to enhance school safety with grants, counselor training, and standardized lockdown messaging following a shooting that killed two and injured six.
- This Tuesday marked one year since 15-year-old Natalie Rupnow opened fire at Abundant Life Christian School, killing Rubi Patricia Vergara and Erin West and injuring six others.
- State Rep. Shelia Stubbs is introducing legislation after a January listening session that would create grant programs, require debriefings, standardize lockdown messaging, and support counselors and parent volunteers.
- Dr. Adam Brinkman recalled the medical response and said `We are not just a hospital that takes care of children; we're a children's hospital. Everyone here has special training to care for our patients`, and survivor Samy Garduno-Martinez was transferred to a rehab facility in Chicago.
- Prosecutors charged Jeffrey Rupnow, the shooter's father, with two counts of selling a dangerous weapon to a person under 18 and one felony count of contributing to child delinquency; investigators recovered two guns and ammunition, and Rupnow requested dismissal as of Tuesday.
- Madison Police Department has since increased training for large incidents and focused on building relationships with schools, fire, emergency management, and dispatch throughout the year, while Doug Butler said `We want to take time to reflect and remember` and Jennifer Rae thanked community and supporters.
