At least three people were killed and six injured in a shooting at a private school in the U.S. ahead of Christmas break.

The suspect is known to be a 17-year-old schoolgirl, but the motive for the crime has not yet been confirmed.

I'm a YouTube reporter on the report.

Gunshots rang out at a school in Madison, Wisconsin, around 11 a.m. on Monday,
By the time the
police were called, the situation was already over.

Eight people, including a teacher and a student, were shot and collapsed, and the suspect killed himself shortly after the crime.

Children are known to be among the injured.

The shooting occurred at a private Christian school, with about 390 people from kindergarten to high school students attending.

The suspect, a 17-year-old schoolgirl who is attending the school, was confirmed to have fired a 9mm pistol.

The motive for the crime has not yet been determined.

[Shaun Barnes / Madison Police Chief] Many people asked why. Why did you wake up? What do you know? What was your motive? I don't know.]

President Biden, who was briefed on the incident, said it was shocking and reiterated the need for strong gun control.

This year, there have been 322 shootings at U.S. schools, almost once a day in tragedy.

In particular, in September, a 14-year-old student opened fire with a semi-automatic rifle at a high school in Georgia, killing or injuring 13 people.
