About The Wisconsin Alleged Female Teen Shooter

The Washington Post reports:

"The teen is one of just nine female school shooters in the last 25 years, according to a database maintained by The Post. She is also among the younger recent shooters: Just over a month removed from her 15th birthday, she was about a year younger than the median age of school shooters. And the violence unfolded at a small K-12 school with a religious affiliation, an uncommon site for such incidents, researchers say."

“A lot of this is quite surprising,” said Jillian Peterson, the executive director of the Violence Prevention Project Research Center at Hamline University.
