Natalie Rupnow Updates: Madison shooter’s father posted photo of her at gun range

Natalie Rupnow, who killed two and injured several more during a shooting at Abundant Life Christian School in Wisconsin on Monday, was pictured at gun range in the months before the attack. The 15-year-old’s father Jeff Rupnow had posted a photo of Rupnow at the range in August. Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe has pointed to a “disturbing” detail in the photo that appears to tie Rupnow to the Columbine school shooting. The teen is wearing a ‘KMFDM’ band shirt. KMFDM, originally known as Kein Mehrheit Für Die Mitleid, which loosely translates to “no pity for the majority,” is a rock band from Germany. Lyrics to KMFDM songs “Son of a Gun,” “Stray Bullet” and “Waste” had been posted on the website of Eric Harris, one of the shooters in the Columbine School massacre. Law enforcement officials in Wisconsin appear to have raided the home of Rupnow today. Footage from WTKR shows the family home with its door torn off the hinges and lying on the ground, and police walking in and out of the premises. Madison Chief of Police, Shon F. Barnes told media on Monday that Rupnow’s parents were cooperating with the police in their investigation, and that they were not looking at prosecuting her parents for the crime at this time.
