A juvenile suspect is among the dead following the attack at Abundant Life Christian School in the state's capital, Madison, the city's police chief Shon Barnes says.

The suspected attacker, who was already dead when officers arrived on the scene, is believed to have been a student at the school.

Residents have been asked to avoid the area and roads are closed near the school.


Americans and their stupid bloody guns! How many more innocent children will have to die in order for SELFISH AMERICANS finally get it through their THICK HEADS that allowing people to carry firearms really isn’t a good idea, and that they could save many people’s lives, especially innocent children’s lives, by putting sensible restrictions on gun ownership? May these poor, innocent people REST IN PEACE – the peace that they have clearly been denied in THIS life. – © Mark Alexander

Trump - Harris, l’enjeu du Wisconsin | ARTE

Dans le Wisconsin, "État bascule" ("swing state") et véritable microcosme des États-Unis, des électeurs livrent leurs espoirs et leurs attentes, esquissant le portrait sociologique d’une Amérique morcelée.

Dans la course à l’élection présidentielle américaine, le duel entre Donald Trump et Kamala Harris s’annonce extrêmement serré. Pour départager les deux candidats à la Maison-Blanche, le vote des "États bascule" ("swing states" en anglais) sera déterminant, notamment celui du Wisconsin. Ce n’est donc pas un hasard si les Républicains y ont organisé leur convention, et si Kamala Harris y a prononcé son discours d’investiture. Véritable microcosme de la nation tout entière, le territoire reflète les profondes disparités sociales et politiques qui se sont creusées dans le pays. Si des villes comme Milwaukee et Madison sont acquises aux Démocrates, les territoires ruraux demeurent un bastion des valeurs prônées par les soutiens de Donald Trump. Alors que ce dernier semblait partir favori, le retrait de Joe Biden au profit de sa vice-présidente pourrait changer la donne. À l’approche du scrutin, le réalisateur Tim Boehme parcourt l’État à la rencontre d’habitantes et d’habitants de tous milieux sociaux, entre ville et campagne, brossant le portrait sociologique d’un pays profondément morcelé.

Setback for Barack Obama as Republican Governor Scott Walker Survives Wisconsin Vote
THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: Barack Obama’s re-election campaign suffered another setback after Republicans claimed victory in a key local election that is being seen by some Republicans as a harbinger of defeat for the Democrats in November.

The "recall" vote in the mid-western state of Wisconsin was triggered last year after the union labour movement collected a million signatures in a bid to oust a fiscal-firebrand Republican governor who had outlawed collective union bargaining and slashed public-spending.

But last night, after weeks of bitter campaigning that emphasised the deep ideological divide in US politics, the Republican candidate Governor Scott Walker scored a solid win with a seven-point lead over his opponent.

Although Mr Obama remains ahead in the national polls in Wisconsin, the Republican victory was hailed on the right for delivering critical momentum for the general election and an endorsement of tough Republican stance on the need to cut government spending and entitlements.

Douglas Schoen, a political strategist and commentator on the conservative Fox News channel predicted that Governor Walker’s victory could prove to be “a pivotal, watershed moment” in the 2012 presidential election and “spell disaster” for President Obama. » | Peter Foster, Washington and Amy Willis in Los Angeles | Wednesday, June 06, 2012
