Disturbing Past of Wisconsin School Shooter Revealed: Membership to Morbid Site “Watch People Die”

The 15-year-old Wisconsin school shooter who tragically killed two and injured six at her conservative Christian school had a disturbing online presence that included membership to a morbid site called “Watch People Die.” Natalie “Samantha” Rupnow, who also turned the gun on herself and died on the way to the hospital, was reportedly a fan of the twisted website that features graphic and upsetting images of people being killed in various ways.

Rupnow, who allegedly posted under the handle @Crossixir, made disturbing comments on the site, including speculating about what people think before they die and making references to suicide and violent incidents. She also had a fascination with other high school shooters and was seen wearing a T-shirt featuring a band favored by one of the Columbine killers.

The motive for the shooting at the Abundant Life Christian School in Madison remains unclear, but Rupnow’s online activity has raised questions about her mental state and possible influences. The website “Watch People Die” is run by an anonymous individual who warns users to log off and engage in more positive activities instead of consuming the disturbing content on the site.

The school, a founding member of Impact Christian Schools, is grappling with the aftermath of the tragedy, with officials emphasizing their faith and belief in God’s plan even in the face of such senseless violence. The parents of the shooter, Jeff and Mellissa Rupnow, have not been reached for comment.

As the community mourns the loss of two lives and grapples with the impact of the shooting, questions remain about how a young girl could have been drawn into such dark and disturbing online spaces. The investigation into the shooting and Rupnow’s motives continues as the community tries to make sense of this tragic event.
