The Madison community is rocked by yesterday's school shooting.
Savannah Tomay Olsen has the very latest.
Police say the suspect shot eight people at abundant life Christian school and then died by suicide
before authorities came into the building.
A teacher and a student were killed.
Two people are in the hospital fighting for their lives.
Four people, three students and a teacher are expected to be okay.
Two of them have been sent home from the hospital.
Nine schools in the Madison Metropolitan School District and some from Manona Grove
were put on a secure hold yesterday.
This tragedy goes so far beyond just that school community.
County Executive Melissa A. Gard.
As a mom who received a text from her son, had a high school here in the city of Madison,
wondering if he was safe.
I can tell you, this hits you on the gut.
Every one of us is affected by this unimaginable and unacceptable violence that has hit our community.
Police chief Sean Barnes.
Right now my heart is heavy for my community.
My heart is heavy for Madison and we have to come together as a community and figure out what happened here
and make sure that it doesn't happen in any other place that should be a refuge for students in our community.
The Crime Response Unit from the Dane County District Attorney's Office has been mobilized
that team includes social workers and their goal is to support survivors and family members.
And the word survivor doesn't just mean the people who were shot yesterday.
It includes everybody who was in that building, students, teachers, other staff,
and the terrified family members worried for their kids.
There are also specially trained officers at the police department to check in on their peers
who experienced trauma in their response.
There's a candlelight vigil tonight for the community to come together.
It's at 6 o'clock at the state Capitol.
For Civic Media News, I'm Savannah Tome Olsen.
Officials are working to ensure schools are safe going forward after the tragedy in Madison yesterday.
Trish Kylpin, director of the Wisconsin Office of Schools Safety, says they've gotten more tips about school threats
since the Madison shooting.
It is true that in light of school shootings, we also see an uptick, a contagion effect of other school threats.
We have seen an increase in plan school attack tips.
Often after an incident such as that that happened here in Madison, people start to think about,
I should have reported this, I have knowledge that someone could be planning a school attack,
and they need to have a place to report that.
Yesterday in Green Bay, there were threats against two high schools that were eventually deemed not credible.
The speak-up speak-out tip line has gotten more than 300 tips since its inception.
You can submit a tip online or call their hotline.
Officials say never brush off a potential threat.
Winnebago County Sheriff's Officials say a vehicle and a body were recovered from little lake butamore last night.

Delivering far short on its promises, Foxconn is still getting tax breaks from the state Stuart J Wattles reports.
While Microsoft is using most of the land, Foxconn is still getting tax credits.
A recent state report shows that Foxconn has been approved for almost $9 million in state tax credits for 2023.
The report shows just over 1100 Foxconn employees in the state and the company spending $24 million in Racine County development.
Originally, it was promised $10 billion in 13,000 jobs.
Microsoft has bought a lot of the Foxconn land and acquired more in the area.
They're investing over $3 billion creating data centers in Mount Pleasant.
What happens when someone can no longer care for an exotic pet like a lizard, a bird, fish or insect?
Traditional shelters aren't equipped to care for them, releasing them into the wild is dangerous for the animals and for the environment.
John Moils is the director of JNR Aquatic Animal Rescue in Nina.
You know, like you get a goldfish at the carnival, you know, you don't know what to do with it.
And then, you know, if it weren't for us, you wouldn't really have a place to go with that goldfish.
And you might think that, you know, dumping it into the lake or river might be a good option.
But those animals can actually thrive in our native waters and then we'll outcompete native animals by becoming an invasive species.
As Wisconsin's largest exotic pet rescue, Moils says that JRAAR has rescued over 1900 animals in 2023.
And they look to surpass that number this year.
To learn more about the rescue, check out our cover story from New Wisco Weekend.

It's the Bucks in the Thunder in Las Vegas for the NBA Cup Championship.
Doc Rivers asked about the Thunder, one of the youngest teams in the league, featuring Shay Gilger's Alexander.
Against the Bucks, now one of the oldest.
They're good. I enjoy watching them play. Shay's one of my favorite players.
I actually got to coach him in this rookie year.
But it's in I joke about it and all these young teams are flying around and we're going to come in when our little canes and wheelchairs and play them.
College hoops the Badgers next game coming up Sunday when they host Detroit Mercy.
Wisconsin dropped out of the AP Top 25 rankings after losing three straight last week but be butler over the weekend.
Much happier locker room than we've had the last three games and I think these guys really have earned it.
Obviously when you play really good teams you're going to have adversity and how you respond to that and how you use those experiences to grow.
I think tells us a lot about the character of the young men in our locker room and I couldn't be happier for them.
That's Badgers head basketball coach Greg guard was sports on Mike Clemens.
I'm your entertainment beat. I'm Pete Schwabba.
It's been a rough go over the second half of season five on Yellowstone.
In the first episode of part two producers killed off the main character John Dutton played by Kevin Costner.
A fine how do you do for his welcome back after a hiatus intention between he and executive producer Taylor Sheridan.
And in the season finale a major character was also killed polarizing the audience.
The New York Post reports that social media reaction has compared it to the last episode of Game of Thrones which also wasn't popular.
Home Alone is on most people's favorite list when it comes to Christmas movies.
The film is so iconic that Kevin or McCulley Culkin actually thought about purchasing the home which is in Wennetka Illinois and Chicago's North Shore.
The house has only been sold twice since the film was released and this time sold after only a week on the market for five million smackers.
Culkin said he was seriously considering it but got busy with his kids.
Sounds like he's much more attentive than his movie parents.
Moana 2 remained king of the box office last weekend.
And it's third weekend of release the film pulled in over 26 million bucks putting it in first place yet again.
Moana 2 and Wicked have a nice little competition going even though Moana 2 broke records it might not catch Wicked when it comes to the total take.
Wicked has pulled in 359 million domestically and Moana 2 is at 337 million.
They are neck and neck which might be too much of a deficit from Moana 2 to overcome when it comes to the holiday season box office champ.
Wicked remains strong at the gate also finishing in second place last week with 22.5 million.
Action adventure film Craven the Hunter starring Russell Crowe and Aaron Taylor Johnson is a box office dud.

Gladiator 2 held strong in fourth place with 7.5 million and the new animated Lord of the Rings film finished in fifth place with a disappointing total of less than 5 million.
Lisa Kudrow is not a fan of AI and let Tom Hanks know about it.

Kudrow criticized Hanks and director Robert Zamekis saying it could affect the need for actors and that it was an endorsement for AI adding that it might not ruin everything but you will basically just be licensing actors' images and not letting them actually act.
