Things to know about the shooting at a Christian school in Wisconsin

Police in Madison, Wisconsin, believe multiple factors prompted a 15-year-old student to open fire at a private Christian school, but they declined to share those Tuesday. The shooting Monday at Abundant Life Christian School in Wisconsin’s capital city was just days before winter break. A fellow student and a teacher were killed and six others were wounded. The shooter also died. Anti-violence organization Everytown for Gun Safety says there have been at least 202 incidents of gunfire on school grounds this year that have led to 56 deaths and 147 injuries, not including the Madison shooting. A candlelight vigil is planned for Tuesday night at the State Capitol.
