Wisconsin Baptists extend
prayers to those affected
by Madison school shooting
MADISON, Wis. (BP) — A shooting at a Christian school that left three dead, including the shooter, has prompted calls for prayer by local churches. “My heart is breaking right now,” Pastor Bob Ray of East Madison Baptist Church began in an email this afternoon to his congregation. “… Pray for God’s healing power for those who have been wounded, for God’s comfort, for families who have lost loved ones, and for all the students, staff, and families who have been traumatized.” Ray’s wife, Carla, teaches at a nearby public school and has at least two coworkers whose children attend Abundant Life Christian School. “I am also sure many of you know families who have been directly affected,” he wrote. In addition to the three deceased, six more were injured. It is believed the shooter was a student at the school.
