I'm Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief John Bickley with Georgia Howe. It's Tuesday, December 17th, and this is your Morning Wire Afternoon Update.
More information has come to light about yesterday's school shooting in Wisconsin. Daily Wire reporter Zach Jewell has the latest.
Police say a 15-year-old female student at Abundant Life Christian School in Madison opened fire during a study hall session, killing another student and a teacher. The shooter, who we are not naming due to a company policy, then turned the gun on herself. In a press conference on Tuesday, Chief Sean Barnes said that it appears the shooter's motivation was, quote, a combination of factors.
We cannot share that information at this time because we do not want to jeopardize the investigation and those who are currently cooperating with us.
He also clarified that a second grade teacher, not a second grade student, as he previously stated, made the first 911 call. Barnes also reiterated that police are aware of a document spreading on social media that some are claiming is the shooter's manifesto, but that document's authenticity has not been verified. Barnes did not take any questions in the Tuesday afternoon press conference.
Allies of President-elect Trump are swooping in to buy up unused border wall pieces as the Biden administration races to sell them off. Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick announced he plans to bid on the remaining parts and store them on state land until the Trump administration takes office. Patrick has vowed to support the effort with state funds. Here's Patrick.
I'm going to find out first thing in the morning where we're going to take the bid. I've got a billion dollars in my pocket to do it. I write the budget with Senator Joan Huffman. We have the money. We're going to have about $6 billion in our budget for border security.
The materials were sold by the Biden administration after halting border wall construction in 2021.
