Another Day,

Another school shooting. 

This one is in Madison, Wisconsin.

According to the Gun Violence Archive, that's the 487th mass shooting of the year.

I'm not even sure why this is news anymore:

Three people are dead, including the shooter, and six were injured in a shooting Monday morning at Abundant Life Christian School on Madison's Far East Side.

The shooting at the private school at 4901 E. Buckeye Road, happened shortly before 11 a.m., police Chief Shon Barnes said.

Here's what we know so far:

2nd grader called police

A second grade student at Abundant Life Christian School was the first call to police about a shooter in the building, Madison Police Chief Shon Barnes said.

"Let that sink in for a minute," he said. 

As an aside here, at an increasing number of schools, that 2nd grader would not have had a cell phone, because they are banned.

I'm not sure how to square the circle of students being able to call the cops with the effects of distractions from their phones.

Shooter identified

The shooter was identified as 15-year-old Natalie Rupnow, who goes by the name Samantha. She died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

She was pronounced dead on the way to the hospital.

F%$# thoughts and prayers.  Repeal the 2nd Amendment.
