Police are investigating a shooting that led to five dead, including the juvenile shooter was a student, at Abundant Life Christian School in Madison.<\/p>\n

Seven people were taken to the hospital, including two who died, with injuries from the shooting at 10:57 a.m. local time on Monday. The injuries range from minor to life-threatening.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday is a sad, sad day,\u201d Madison Police Chief Shon Barnes said at a news conference shortly after noon. \u201cNot only for Madison but our entire country.\u201d<\/p>\n

Barnes said he was dismayed at what occurred, especially near Christmas. Barnes said the Madison Police train for school shootings quarterly, most recently two weeks ago.<\/p>\n

Police did not fire their weapons and the injuries to the shooter were believed to be self-inflicted, Barnes said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is something that we all prepare for but hope we never have to do,\u201d Barnes said.<\/p>\n

Barnes added that the Madison Police are working with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to determine the origin of the shooter’s gun.<\/p>\n

Barnes said that he believes every person in the building is now a victim and will be a victim forever.<\/p>\n
