I'm Georgia Howe with Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief John Bickley. It's Monday, December 16th, and this is your Morning Wire Afternoon Update. Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is reportedly considering stepping down. Sources say the development comes after Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland announced her resignation.
In a letter published this morning, Freeland took all of Parliament Hill by surprise. All on the same day, she was set to table her fall economic statement, a document that typically includes key economic metrics such as the size of Canada's deficit.
Leaders from the Conservative Party and their coalition have demanded an election, while the new Democratic Party leader has called on Trudeau to resign.
At least three people are dead and several others injured following a shooting at a Wisconsin Christian school. Daily Wire reporter Spencer Lindquist has more.
Police say the alleged shooter was believed to be a student at Abundant Life Christian School and is among the deceased. Five additional victims were transported to a local hospital with injuries ranging from minor to life-threatening. Police have refused to release the age, gender, or any other identifying marks of the student accused of being the shooter.
Police Chief Sean Barnes described the incident as devastating, urging residents to avoid the area as the investigation continues. Barnes gave the following remarks about those who were killed.
Two other people have died. That died were a teacher and a teenage student. Six other people were injured. Two students are now in critical condition in the hospital, and these injuries are considered life-threatening injuries. Four students are also at other area hospitals with non-life-threatening injuries.
