The Washington Post reports:
The 15-year-old girl who killed two people and wounded six others at her small Christian school here Monday had a turbulent home life, according to court records, which show that her parents divorced and remarried multiple times and that she had been enrolled in therapy.
Rupnow’s father is a Christian who often shared pictures of his dogs and his daughter, according to a review of his Facebook profile. The Post confirmed the account as Jeff Rupnow’s by verifying its authenticity with a person who attended school with him and by comparing the page’s contents to public records.
But one post, from August, has attracted more scrutiny than others. In it, a photo appears to show Natalie Rupnow wielding a gun and taking aim at a firing range, which her father identifies as North Bristol Sportsman’s Club in nearby Sun Prairie. In a comment accompanying the post, Jeff Rupnow wrote that he and his daughter had joined the club early this year and “we have been loving all every second of it!”
