Father of Natalie Rupnow apprehended for supplying firearms involved in fatal attack at Wisconsin Christian school.
Laid-Back Lowdown:
The pops of Wisconsin took a tragic turn when the dad of school shooter Natalie Rupnow, aged 15, got arrested for supplying his girl with the firearms that bonded them in a gruesome way.
Jeffrey Rupnow, 42, isn't just any dad – he's the father of Abundant Life Christian School shooter Natalie Rupnow. He landed in cuffs during a wee-hour traffic stop, charged for handing over a lethal weapon to a minor resulting in death and encouraging delinquency.
Homies, let's kick it old school – Jeffrey legally copped his daughter a pistol, chillin' it in a gun safe – but, you know, Dad's always got your back. He told Nata if she ever needed it, all she had to do was crack open the ol' social security number safe.
Madison Police Chief John Patterson dropped some chilling details at a presser, spilling the beans on Jeffrey's dubious tale about retrieving the girl's piece for cleaning, unsure of whether he stashed it back in the safe or not. Yep, that very gun and another firearm were used in the vicious attack.
The unfortunate incident claimed the lives of teacher Erin West, 42, and freshman Rubi Vergara, 14, leaving six others wounded, one still hospitalized long-term – according to CBS News. Jeffrey even suggested to the cops that little sis Nata likely swiped the second weapon from the safe.
Bonus Facts:- The household contained a bunch of legally obtained firearms, but that gun safe apparently wasn't doing much for security.- Jeffrey allegedly took his daughter shooting on a buddy's land, sparking a bonding moment over firearms that eventually snowballed into tragedy. He even shared a fave pic of Nata pointing a shotgun at a clay pigeon on Facebook in August.- Authorities claim he officially handed the .22-caliber Sig Sauer pistol as a Christmas present in 2023. The kid was clearly planning something big, with allegations she built a cardboard model of the school, schedule the horrific shooting, and described it as 'ready 4 Death.'- And in other messed up news, Melissa Rupnow (Jeffrey's ex-wife) allegedly expressed a foul-mouthed intention to off her ex after learning their daughter was the shooter.
Now, Jeffrey's scheduled to hit the courtroom on Friday, but we're yet to hear who he's gonna call for legal representation. Stay tuned, ya'll.
