(Reuters) -- A 15-year-old girl opened fire at a Wisconsin school on Monday, fatally shooting a fellow student and a teacher and wounding six other people before killing herself with the handgun, police said.

The latest school shooting to devastate a U.S. community took place at the Abundant Life Christian School, a private institution that teaches some 400 students from kindergarten through 12th grade in Madison, the state capital of about 270,000 people.
