A second-grade teacher made the 911 call, he said at a news conference Tuesday. Barnes had incorrectly said Monday that a second-grade student made the call. “That was a mistake. That’s my responsibility, and I apologize and I clarify that today,” he said.Follow along for live coverageAt the time of the shooting, Barnes said, officers had been training to respond to similar scenarios.“So what began as a training day became an actual thing,” he said. Law enforcement officers respond to a report of a school shooter at Abundant Life Christian School in Madison, Wis., on Monday.Where did the shooting happen?The private school, east of downtown Madison, was founded in 1978 and teaches kindergarten through 12th grade to roughly 335 students.The shooting happened in a classroom during study hall, Barnes said, adding that students in a variety of grade levels were in the room. Who are the victims?A teenage student and a teacher were fatally shot, Barnes said. He has not provided additional details about them.Barnes said Tuesday some have asked whether the shooter targeted victims in the shooting.“Everyone was targeted in this incident,” he said. “And everyone was put in equal danger.”Two of the injured students were in critical condition Tuesday.

Investigators have talked to the shooter’s family and searched the home, Barnes said. Her parents are “fully cooperating,” Barnes said.A handgun was recovered, said Barnes, who did not provide additional details about it.How are officials responding?Hours after the shooting, President Joe Biden pressed Congress to pass gun reform legislation, including universal background checks and a ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines.”From Newtown to Uvalde, Parkland to Madison, to so many other shootings that don’t receive attention — it is unacceptable that we are unable to protect our children from this scourge of gun violence,” Biden said in a statement. “We cannot continue to accept it as normal.”Students are escorted from a church next to school.Scott Olson / Getty ImagesRep. Mark Pocan, D-Wis., said: “Thoughts and prayers without action means more school shootings, more dead kids. More ACTION is needed by our elected officials.” He also provided location details for a reunification site and a phone number for people who need help. Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., offered his “condolences and prayers for all the victims of the tragedy at Abundant Life Christian School.”He said he would continue to closely monitor the situation.
