Authorities have identified the 15-year-old female school shooter in Madison, Wisconsin, as Natalie Rupnow. According to court records reviewed by The Washington Post, Rupnow had a turbulent home life characterized by her parents' multiple divorces and remarriages. The records indicate that she had been enrolled in therapy, suggesting a challenging upbringing for the teenager.
Rupnow's childhood was marked by custody agreements that required her to move between her parents' homes every two or three days. This constant shuffling likely added to the instability she experienced at home. Despite attempts to reach out for comments, Rupnow's parents, Jeff and Mellissa Rupnow, have not responded to requests from The Washington Post.
