According to Barnes, Madison police looking into today’s incident are aware of a document online and are researching it to find out more.
“We have not confirmed the authenticity of a document that is currently making the rounds on social media regarding this shooting,” Barnes said.
“Police are trying to figure out why,” he stated. According to him, the shooter’s parents have been contacted by police and are completely cooperating.
He said that the shooter’s house is being searched by police. The chief of police in Madison was questioned on remarks made online that raise the possibility that the shooter was transgender.
At a press conference tonight, Barnes said, “I don’t know whether Natalie was transgender or not.” He said, “I don’t believe that anything that occurred today has anything to do with how.
She, he, or they may have wanted to identify.” “And I hope that people would sort of put aside their own prejudices in this.”
