Natalie Rupnow cops probing ‘manifesto’ after crazed school rampage left two people dead as SWAT teams stun grenade home
A DISTURBING manifesto is being probed by cops after it was posted online right before a teen girl opened fire at her school, killing two people and injuring six others.
Police are still searching for a motive after 15-year-old Natalie Rupnow gunned down students and teachers at the Abundant Life Christian school in Madison, Wisconsin, on Monday.
A student and a teacher were killed in the rampage before Rupnow, 15, turned the gun on herself.
She was pronounced dead in an ambulance on the way to the hospital, cops said.
Six additional people were injured as chaos unfolded inside a classroom containing mixed-grade students just days before Christmas.
Madison police have launched an investigation and raided Rupnow's home.

At a press conference on Tuesday afternoon, Madison Police Chief Shon Barnes said several fake threat calls, or "swatting" incidents, had taken place in schools in Madison.
County Executive Melissa Agard said she had a child in the Madison school system and called today's swatting incidents "triggering."
In emotional scenes, Madison's Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway hit out at claims officials have been too slow to release information following the shooting.
She said that law enforcement would decide when it was right to name the victims, but slammed the media in the room.
"It is absolutely none of y'all's business who was harmed in this," she said, her voice shaking.
"Please have some human decency and respect. Just have some human decency folks.
"The front door was taken off and nobody was around, and the detectives are in there mopping up the mess," one local said.
Law enforcement teams are said to have shared the supposed dossier with the FBI.
The motive behind the shooting remains unknown, but investigators believe Rupnow used a 9mm pistol to carry out the massacre.
The second-grader said she was "really scared."
Her dad, Karl, said the youngster didn't have any shoes on when he collected her.
"I was in the hallway, and I was changing from my shoes to my boots to go to lunch because I have recess after, but then I heard the shooting and screams," Nora said.
