Did Natalie Rupnow's father know about Wisconsin school shooting plan? He posted a photo of...

Natalie 'Samantha' Rupnow, the 15-year-old, suspected shooter of Wisconsin's Abundant Life Christian School shooting incident joined a shooting range just months before, social media footprints have revealed. And it was his father who posted her photo at a firing range in August -- raising questions on social media about whether his father was aware of her plan to shoot in the school. In that case, her father could also be charged though investigators have not yet explored the angle and said Rupnow's parents are cooperating with the investigation. And this is the second link of her father Jeff Rupnow to the case as the first link is the troubled family life that Natalie had because of her parents who married and divorced twice -- exchanging the custody of Natalie.
The photo that shows Natalie pointing a shotgun at a clay pigeon wearing a black top with KMFDM written on it appeared on the Facebook wall of her father. In the post, Jeff described his daughter as 'kiddo' as his daughter took up a weapon. In that photo, Rupnow was seen wearing a t-shirt from the German industrial rock band KMFDM which was seen as her link to Eric Harris who in 1999 murdered 13 people in a Columbine High School massacre. The band's name is an acronym for a German phrase that translates to 'No pity for the majority'. Like Harrus and his aide Dylan Klebold -- the two masterminds of the 1999 massacre -- Rupnow too killed herself after her rampage.
The 15-year-old opened fire killing a substitute teacher and a student and injured five others before she took her own life. Investigators have not found any motive but indicated how disturbed the suspected shooter was in her private life and are investigating whether she was bullied in the school as well.


Rupnow' parents married and divorced each other several times and the 15-year-old was now staying with her father. Law enforcement officials in Wisconsin Wednesday morning raided the home where the suspected shooter was living with her father. Madison Chief of Police, Shon F. Barnes told media Monday that Natalie 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.
Natalie's father Jeff Rupnow's social media said he was single, and his Facebook page was filled with photos of his daughter and his dogs. Mother Mellissa Rupnow's page, which has since been deleted or set to private, showed less information, containing a profile picture and a photo of a trip to Florida.
