A 15-year-old female student was identified by police as the assailant who opened fire Monday at a school in the US state of Wisconsin, where a fellow student and teacher were killed and the suspected shooter was found dead.

Shon Barnes, police chief in the state capital Madison, told a press briefing that three people had died and seven others were wounded at the Abundant Life Christian School, a private Christian school with about 400 students.

“The shooter has now been identified as (a) 15-year-old,” Barnes told reporters, identifying the minor by name.
“She was a student at the school, and evidence suggests she died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound,” he added.

Barnes said a second-grade student called emergency services to report the shooting shortly before 11:00am local time.
