Samantha Rupnow, aka “Sam,” a female student, allegedly entered Abundant Life Christian School (K-12) at 4901 E. Buckeye Road before 11:00 a.m. with a 9mm handgun, fatally shooting a teacher and a student. She also shot six others, who sustained injuries ranging from mild to life-threatening, Madison police reported. Rupnow was identified as the alleged shooter on social media.

The deceased shooter at Abundant Life Christian School in Madison, Wisconsin, has been identified as Natalie Lynn Rupnow, who also went by “Samantha Rupnow” or “Sam.” A student at the school, Rupnow carried out the attack in the library and posted an “okay” hand symbol from a nearby bathroom shortly before the shooting. Her six-page manifesto, titled “War Against Humanity,” revealed a deeply troubled relationship with her parents, whom she described as “scum,” and expressed feeling like the “wrong child” in her family.

Social media posts refer to Rupnow as a biological female who was known to be a transgender student. Madison police and the FBI are investigating the deadly shooting at Abundant Life Christian School.

Rupnow is associated with an X account (formerly Twitter), postalbrained, where a private manifesto link was posted. Additionally, an X account under the name Kristallin, with the handle Severd_Head, posted, “In remembrance of Samantha Rupnow, who was driven to suicide by the worst people this world has to offer.”

Rupnow admired mass attackers such as Pekka Eric Auvinen, Arda Küçükyetim, and Vladislav Roslyakov, referring to Küçükyetim, a Turkish neo-Nazi, as “an ultimate saint” and her inspiration. Rupnow wrote that she had previously planned to commit suicide but believed a mass shooting would be “better for evolution,” claiming she obtained her weapons through “lies, manipulation, and my father’s stupidity.”
