Chilling social media post of Wisconsin Christian school shooter Natalie Samantha Rupnow's father
Share:
Wisconsin school shooter Natalie Rupnow's father shared a chilling image of his daughter practicing at a shooting range in a similar T-shirt to one worn by the Columbine school shooters. Jeff Rupnow posted the snap to his public Facebook page in August. His daughter is filmed pointing a rifle at a clay puck wearing a black top emblazoned with the name of the band KMFDM.

Columbine killer Eric Harris was seen wearing a KMFDM T-shirt ahead of the 1999 Colorado high school massacre where 13 were murdered. Natalie, 15, killed a substitute teacher and a teenage student and wounded six others with a 9mm pistol. Neither victim has been named. The double murderer, who also went by the name Samantha, then turned the gun on herself at Abundant Life Christian School in Madison on Monday morning.

He added, responding to a comment from a friend, that he and his daughter joined a local gun club in the spring and 'we have been loving all every second of it!']](https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2024/12/17/11/93227373-14200813-It_is_unclear_when_the_picture_was_taken_but_Mr_Rupnow_did_confi-a-3_1734435589670.jpg)
No motive has been given and police say they're working to verify whether a manifesto being shared online was written by Rupnow. Jeff Rupnow has two daughters and it is unclear which of them was snapped firing the gun - but he spoke proudly of the child's prowess with a weapon.

Asked by a Facebook commenter if it was his daughter in the image, he replied 'Joined NBSC (North Bristol Shooting Club) this spring and we have been loving every second of it. The NBSC - or North Bristol Sportsman's Club - is a gun club in Sun Prairie, a suburb of Madison, offering annual family memberships for just $90, according to its website.
