A shooting at a small Christian school in Madison, Wisconsin, on Monday, left a teenage student and a teacher dead and several others injured, casting the small religious community into mourning just days before the school was going to close for Christmas.

The shooter who opened fire at a private Christian school in Wisconsin was a 17-year-old female student, a law enforcement official said.

At least six other people were injured in the shooting at Abundant Life Christian School, according to police.
