Shooter at Abundant Life Christian School in Wisconsin Identified as 15-Year-Old Natalie ‘Samantha’ Rupnow
Authorities are actively investigating the circumstances leading up to the shooting. Madison Police Chief Shon Barnes acknowledged awareness of a manifesto allegedly linked to Rupnow circulating online but has not confirmed its authenticity.
Now-confirmed X posts identified the gunman as Samantha Rupnow. Many online have claimed that the individual went by @Postalbrained on X and posted a manifesto on a private Google Drive link. The Gateway Pundit was unable to access the link because it was restricted.
It is also believed that the owner of the @Severd_Head account was in a relationship with the alleged shooter.
Both accounts were available for anybody to view but have since been restricted to followers only.
Post Millenial reporter Andy Ngo said on X Monday night, “I can report that the deceased mass shooter at Abundant Life Christian School in Madison, Wisc. is a 15-year-old girl named Natalie Lynn Rupnow,” according to a source. He further confirmed that the @Postalbrained X account is likely her.

Ngo has also posted portions of what some allege is the shooter’s manifesto, but its authenticity is still unconfirmed.
Madison Police Chief Shon Barnes said they have not verified that the manifesto is authentic. “We’re certainly aware that it’s been posted, and the person who posted it alleged to have a connection with the victim,” he said. Police have not located the creators of the social media pages.
The police have since identified the shooter as 15-year-old Natalie ‘Samantha’ Rupnow, who committed suicide at the scene.
On the social media page, archived here, that is speculated to belong to the shooter, cryptic posts days and moments before the shooting occurred, shortly before 11 am CT, appear to lend credibility to the claims. However, it is still unconfirmed whether or not the account belongs to Natalie Rupnow.
The Gateway Pundit reviewed the account Monday night. Here’s what we found:
The account believed to be linked to Rupnow was activated this month and features what appears to be a church set ablaze as its cover photo. The bio reads, “god forbid they know I’m human.”
At approximately 11:50 am ET, around when the shooting is believed to have started, the account posted a hand making the “OK” sign from inside of a restroom. In a post below the image, a link to a private Google Drive was published, causing many to speculate that the shooter had a manifesto.
Two cryptic videos were posted on December 14 and December 7. One clip appears to show an individual committing suicide at a gun range, and another shows a montage of images showing a masked man armed with a sword who killed two people in a 2015 incident at a school in Sweden.
WARNING: Graphic content
The @Severd_Head X page has equally disturbing posts and appears to echo some of the potential hints left by the other account. The account’s bio reads, “In remembrance of Samantha Rupnow who was driven to suicide by the worst people this world has to offer.”
The account also reposted @Postalbrained’s “OK” post that came moments before the shooting occurred.
