The youngest survivors of a school shooting in Madison, Wisconsin, have revealed their terror and panic after watching a teacher get shot in front of them. Natalie 'Samantha' Rupnow, 15, opened fire on kids and staff at Abundant Life Christian School on Monday - raining bullets in the study hall before turning the gun on herself.

One student and one teacher were pronounced dead, but horrified children as young as eight have recounted the bloody massacre that happened in front of their eyes. Rupnow died in an ambulance on the way to hospital after being found on the scene with a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Police last night raided her family home eight miles away from the school, with SWAT teams deploying stun grenades on the property. Rupnow may have left behind a chilling manifesto, which investigators are now sifting through - but are yet to confirm its validity.

Nora Gottsckalk, eight, was in the hallway before 11am, getting ready for lunch, when she saw a teacher she knew well injured in the unhinged gunfire. 'She was screaming, "Ah my leg, help, help,"' the young girl told CNN affiliate WISC as she grasped a Spongebob ice cream, after being reunited with family.
