UPDATE- 12/16- 11:25 a.m.: Police have made an error, retracting their death toll back down to three people, not five. However, in today’s press conference, Police Chief Shon Barnes initially said that five people have been killed in the incident.
Police have reported that at least three people have died, including a juvenile suspect, and at least six others were transferred to a hospital after a shooting at Abundant Life Christian School in Madison, Wisconsin.
Barnes called today a “sad, sad day,” not just for the community, but for the country, after the shooting on Monday.
“Yet another police chief is doing a press conference to speak about violence in our community, specifically in one of the places that’s most sacred to me as someone who loves education and to someone who has children that are in schools,” Barnes said.
He stated that officers discovered multiple gunshot victims after responding to an active shooter call at the school at 10:57 a.m.
The shooter was reportedly a student at the school, according to NBC News.
According to Chief Barnes, at least three people were transported to local area hospitals for treatment after officers and emergency personnel performed life-saving efforts on those discovered injured.
Barnes did not specify how many deaths were students versus staff. The police’s incident website stated that the injuries “range from minor to life-threatening.”
“I’m not going to give any information about who the victims are, whether they’re students, staff or parents, because we need to make sure that we can notify people,” Madison Police Chief Shon Barnes said.
🚨BREAKING🚨 Heartbreaking.

OAN Staff James Meyers 10:17 AM – Tuesday, September 17, 2024
Hundreds of Hezbollah terrorists were injured in Lebanon on Tuesday after handheld pagers “exploded” in what the group claims was a targeted attack, according to a state media report.
Members of the terrorist organization confirmed the “wide-range attacks” on its operatives, including fighters and medics, with one member claiming its the “biggest security breach” since it began its attacks on the Jewish State began on October 8th.
Videos on social media caught the explosions on camera. Viewers can see the Hezbollah men, who had communication devices in their pockets, suddenly react after small explosions occur seemingly out of nowhere. Seconds later, Islamist terrorists began crying in pain as bystanders ran away in terror.
Among those injured when the pagers exploded included Iran’s ambassador in Lebanon, Mojtaba Amani, Iranian state media reported.
BREAKING via Reuters
Hundreds of members of Hezbollah were seriously wounded on Tuesday when the pagers they used to communicate exploded.
Hezbollah officials are now claiming that Israel and the IDF were behind the “pager attacks,” while the Israeli military has not yet commented on the incidents.
“The enemy [Israel] stands behind this security incident,” a Hezbollah official told the Associated Press.
The pagers that detonated were reportedly the latest models that the terrorist organization had recently acquired and given to its members. Reuters was informed by several sources that there is now ongoing suspicion that someone or a group working for Israel had discreetly tampered with the devices.
Additionally, one Hezbollah official told a Middle Eastern correspondent working for the Wall Street Journal that some Hezbollah members felt their pagers quickly begin to heat up, so they disposed of them immediately before a detonation could occur.
The leader of the terrorist group, Hassan Nasrallah, previously warned his men of the possible dangers of carrying cell phones or pagers, claiming that their movements could be tracked or they could have a targeted strike carried out against them.
Nevertheless, who or what is behind the pager explosions has still not been revealed.
Lebanon’s Health Ministry has asked its emergency personnel treating the wounded to get rid of all their wireless devices. Additionally, local residents claimed that the explosions continued for “over 30 minutes” after the initial explosion.
Currently, no deaths have been reported as of Tuesday morning, but at least several casualties are expected after examining the Hezbollah members’ gruesome injuries, according to Lebanese Health Minister Firas Abiad.
The explosions come as Israel and Hezbollah have engaged in daily attacks over the border since the terrorist group joined Hamas in their joint effort against the Jewish state.

What I saw at the terrorist rally outside Congregation Adas Torah (Congregation of the Bible) in Los Angeles

Horrific moment pro-Israel woman is pinned to the ground and put in a chokehold, leaving her bloodied after being savagely assaulted by a pro-Palestine protester in the Jewish neighborhood of Pico-Robertson, LA.
Today is a dark stain on the history of Los Angeles.
Violent extremists who proudly praised Hamas and Hezbollah marched outside an Orthodox synagogue in America’s most heavily Jewish neighborhood outside of New York – where my kids go to school, where my family worships…1/
I was there today for an event at the shul. @LAPDHQ let the Hamas supporters take over the sidewalk in front of the shul and block its entrance. The LAPD had formed a cordon around the front of the shul to keep Jews out and Hamas supporters in. I tried to get in with my kids… https://t.co/ZKPPppO55H
This looks more like Berlin in 1938 than anything we have seen in America before. What followed in Berlin? Meanwhile, the ADL sounds the alarm against “far right” antisemitism and “Islamophobia.” The people attacking Jews on the streets in broad daylight in Los Angeles were leftists and Muslims. For the ADL, leftist and Muslim antisemitism is virtually nonexistent. It seems as if the whole world has determined to ignore the sources of the real threat.
On November 27th, 2023, Navy medical corps officer lieutenant Ted Macie shared a video on X, where he expressed grave concern for his patients suffering after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine. And according to Lt. Macie, he tried reporting the DoD data from the [Defense Medical Epidemiology Database] system to his superiors, and he was subsequently silenced and punished. He lost access to the DMED system. He’s been removed from seeing his patients and has been relegated to a broom closet somewhere to continue his service. It seems to me that Lt. Macie has suffered more than the people who screwed up the DMED system. So why is this person being punished for trying to showcase data that was alarming?
Iran and its proxies are stepping up attacks, knowing that the Biden regime is weak, America-last, and appeasement-minded.
“First on CNN: Three US troops killed in drone attack in Jordan, more than 30 injured,” by Haley Britzky, Natasha Bertrand and Oren Liebermann, CNN, January 28, 2024:
Three US Army soldiers were killed and more than 30 service members were injured in a drone attack overnight on a small US outpost in Jordan, US officials told CNN, marking the first time US troops have been killed by enemy fire in the Middle East since the beginning of the Gaza war.
The killing of three Americans at Tower 22 in Jordan near the border with Syria is a significant escalation of an already-precarious situation in the Middle East. Officials said the drone was fired by Iran-backed militants and appeared to come from Syria. It is still being determined which militia group specifically is responsible.
US Central Command confirmed in a statement on Sunday that three service members were killed and 25 injured in a one-way drone attack that “impacted at a base in northeast Jordan.” Two US officials told CNN the drone hit in the vicinity of living quarters on base, and that three the injured service members were medically evacuated from the area.
The number of wounded is expected to rise.
President Joe Biden vowed on Sunday to hold those responsible for the attack “to account,” saying that while facts are still being gathered, “We know it was carried out by radical Iran-backed militant groups operating in Syria and Iraq.”
“These service members embodied the very best of our nation: Unwavering in their bravery. Unflinching in their duty. Unbending in their commitment to our country — risking their own safety for the safety of their fellow Americans, and our allies and partners with whom we stand in the fight against terrorism. … [H]ave no doubt – we will hold all those responsible to account at a time and in a manner our choosing.”
As of Friday, there had been more than 158 attacks on US and coalition forces in Iraq and Syria, though officials have described the constant volley of drones, rockets, and missiles as unsuccessful as they have frequently not caused serious injury or damage to infrastructure….
In every society, the elderly and children have a critical role. They are symbols of knowledge and experience, the fathers and mothers of generations. Children, meanwhile, represent life and innocence. The fact that an Iranian TV host, Mohammad Tadi, could openly celebrate the savage jihadist who murdered an elderly Jewish lady and severely injured school children is revealing. Westerners should have long ago awakened to the fact that jihadists who celebrate the deaths of innocent people have entered Western countries in large numbers. Hateful anti-Israel, pro-Hamas protests are a reminder of how emboldened these elements have become.
“Iranian TV Show Celebrates Car Ramming Attack In Ra’anana, In Which An Elderly Israeli Woman Was Murdered And Schoolchildren Were Injured: ‘They Were Flattened Like Asphalt, Some Of Them Had To Be Scraped Off The Road With A Spatula,’” MEMRI, January 16, 2024:
Iranian TV host Mohammad Tadi celebrated a car-ramming attack in the city of Ra’anana on his January 15, 2024, show on Channel 2 (Iran). He said that news of the attack in which an Israeli elderly woman was murdered, and several schoolchildren were severely injured, was “very happy.” Tadi stated that victims had to be scraped off the road “with a spatula.” Earlier on the show, Tadi celebrated news of a Yemeni-Houthi attack on an American vessel using sophisticated weapons.
Mohammed Tadi: “At the start of our show, I have two happy news items for you to enjoy. A wonderful operation was carried out in the Gulf of Aden. They took an American vessel… pay attention, it was an American [ship]. It was not a cargo ship heading to Israel. It was not Israeli, it belonged to the US. They officially announced that it was an anti-ship ballistic missile, a highly sophisticated [piece of] technology, as confirmed by CENTCOM, attacked the American vessel. Who do you think did this? The Yemeni champions. They also took responsibility very nicely.

The ayatollahs are getting impatient that their $6 billion check from Biden hasn’t arrived.
The ayatollahs are getting impatient that their $6 billion check hasn’t arrived in the mail. And they do like celebrating the 40th anniversary of their great triumph… the Marine Barracks bombing.
So they spent a little time trying to kill American soldiers. Again.
At least two-dozen American military personnel based in Iraq and Syria were injured in drone attacks last week that officials said were launched by Iran-backed proxy groups.
The largest attack carried out against a US base was on Oct. 18 when 20 troops suffered “minor injuries,” after numerous one-way drones targeted the al-Tanf Garrison in southeastern Syria, US military officials said, according to the Washington Post.
On the same day, multiple drones also targeted the US and its allies in two different attacks on Ain al-Asad Air Base in western Iraq that left four people with minor injuries, the Washington Post reported. Those injured also returned to duty.
A US citizen working as a contractor died the same day after he went into cardiac arrest during a shelter-in-place order at the base.
The Pentagon has said the groups behind the attacks are supported by Iran and its Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
It’s natural to assume that this is a response to the current situation in the region, but the depressing thing is that it’s not even new.
The two elements that jump out at most people (1. Iran launching attacks on U.S. bases and (2. the White House not even mentioning it… have been around for quite a while.
Two more terror drones targeted American forces deployed to fight ISIS at the Al Asad air base. The base has been repeatedly hammered by Iran-backed rocket attacks over the past year, most notably when 14 rockets struck the base over the summer causing several injuries.
There were repeated Iran-backed rocket strikes against Americans in Iraq throughout the last year totaling an estimated 25 separate attacks under the Biden administration.
On September 11, two drones launched an attack on U.S. forces at Erbil International Airport.
Then, as now, the Biden administration limited American military personnel to defensive preventative air strikes against the Shiite terror groups carrying out the attacks.
This was going on long before the current Hamas attack and the Israeli response. Or before we directed more forces to the region.
American soldiers have been killed and worse still, we’re funding their killers. And I don’t just mean with that $6 billion.
While some U.S. conflicts with Jihadists in the region are old news, Kataeb Hezbollah fired rockets at the U.S. embassy in Baghdad in 2019 and has bombed U.S. bases in recent years. Kataeb Hezbollah killed two American soldiers in 2020: Army Spc. Juan Miguel Mendez Covarrubias and Air Force Staff Sgt. Marshal D. Roberts.
Politicians and the media have mostly ignored the fact that Americans are continuing to be killed in Iraq, that the Iraqi government is funding their killers, and that we’re funding Iraq.
While Iraq funds Iran’s terror militias, the United States funds the UN Development Programme to “stabilize” Iraq and has invested over $100 million into “conflict, peace and security” funding.
The United States has spent over $1 billion financing the nation’s military while Iraq spends billions financing the Iranian PMU terror militias which are expected to approach a quarter of a million Jihadis.
Did you hear any mention of Air Force Staff Sgt. Marshal D. Roberts?
On March 14, 2020, Roberts lost his life when enemy fire engaged with his unit at Camp Taji. With rockets flying, Roberts and his friend took cover. They discussed running to a bunker but not without considering if they could make it to safety. Roberts told his fellow Airmen to go and get her body armor. As his friend left, a rocket landed, taking his life. In losing his own, Roberts saved another.
Her body armor.
Do we talk about any of this? No. And then suddenly we notice it and wonder what’s going on. Iran keeps attacking us and trying to kill us. And Biden keeps trying to cut a deal while warning against offending Iran.
