Overview
2024 Wisconsin School Shooting refers to a December 2024 school shooting at Christian school in Madison, Wisconsin, that left two people dead and several injured, which was committed by 15-year-old Natalie "Samantha" Rupnow, also referred online as Wisconsin Femcel Shooter. The shooter left a manifesto on a Google Drive that could not be accessed, but was later made public via the shooter's boyfriend. The shooting became a viral subject of discussions on social media in mid-December 2024.
Background
On December 16th, 2024, 15-year-old student Natalie "Samantha" Rupnow, opened fire in a study hall at Abundant Life Christian School in Wisconsin, killing a student and an substitute teacher, and injuring six other people. She then took her own life by a self-inflicted gunshot.[1]
Shortly before the shooting, Natalie Lynn Rupnow, who went by the name Samantha, posted a photograph of herself making an OK symbol in a bathroom stall to her X account @Postalbrained.[2] In the reply to the post, she posted a link to a manifesto on her Google Drive, with the access to it unavailable due to the privacy settings not being set to public (post shown below).
In the comments of the post, X[3] user @PETR0GRAD, a purported online acquaintance of Rupnow, posted her selfie photograph (shown below).
They also shared a screenshot of her Discord account, which used the handle crossixir, also used by Rupnow on other social media. Additionally, @PETR0GRAD shared a screenshot of what was thought to be an excerpt from her locked manifesto which mentioned radical feminist X account @hollowearthterf, better known as RadFemHitler, and which was later confirmed to be fake.[4]
Developments
Later on December 16th, investigative journalist @Slatzism contacted Rupnow's boyfriend, who shared her manifesto which she sent to him shortly before the shooting.[5] In the six-page long manifesto, titled "War Against Humanity", Rupnow wrote about her disappointment in and contempt for humanity, referring to most people as "scum", and expressed admiration with school shooters Pekka Eric Auvinen, Arda Küçükyetim, and Vladislav Roslyakov. Rupnow called for "public executions", referred to herself as "part of the real thought and the real revolution", and made racist remarks. Rupnow wrote that nobody was aware of her plan to commit a school shooting, and that she got access to her father's handgun through "lies, manipulation, and my father's stupidity". She called her parents "scum" and wrote that she didn't trust them.
Online Reactions
Natalie Rupnow, frequently referred to online as "Femcel shooter" due to the viral spread of the fake excerpt in which she purportedly subscribed to radical feminist views, became a viral subject of discussions online. Notably, Rupnow's failure to make access to her manifesto public became a subject of memes (example[6] shown below).
A June 2023 post by user @TaoistShelby which made a prediction that in the following two years there would be a femcel mass shooter that mentioned radical feminist influencer RadFemHitler in her manifesto went viral following the shooting (example post[7] shown below).
