At least three people, including the suspect, were killed and and six people are injured Monday in a shooting at a Christian school in Madison, Wisconsin.

Madison Police Chief Shon Barnes said a deceased juvenile found at the scene is believed to be the shooter.

Barnes said the juvenile is an enrolled student and no police officers fired shots at the scene.

Officers responded around 10:57 a.m. local time at Abundant Life Christian School, a private K-12 school in the city with roughly 335 students. It also shares its campus with a daycare center.

Madison police said the school has been cleared.

The injured were taken to area hospitals in unknown conditions. Several ambulances were seen driving away from the school. No other information about the victims was released.

The Dane County Sheriff’s Office is assisting the Madison Police Department, according to WMTV. FBI and ATF agents have also responded.

“I am closely monitoring the incident at Abundant Life Christian School in Madison,” Gov. Tony Evers wrote on social media. “We are praying for the kids, educators, and entire Abundant Life school community as we await more information and are grateful for the first responders who are working quickly to respond.”
