15 yr old WI school shooter knew how to handle a weapon & her manifesto posted. [View all]

The image shows Natalie from the back handling a firearm with protective ear muffs on. A user commented on Jeff Rupnow's post: "Is that kiddo?" to which Jeff Rupnow responded: "sure is!!!! We joined NBSC this spring and we have been loving all every second of it!"

NSBC appears to refer to North Bristol Sportsman's Club, a Wisconsin-based shooting range. Newsweek reached out to the club for comment via email outside of normal working hours.

The X, formerly Twitter, user who posted the manifesto on their account said they had received it from Rupnow's boyfriend. Newsweek has contacted the user for comment via direct message.

The author identified themselves as Samantha Rupnow, according to screenshots posted on X. Police have said Rupnow went by that name.

In the manifesto, called "War Against Humanity," the author writes that they have "grown to hate people, and society" and calls their parents "scum."

The author also writes that they acquired weapons "by lies and manipulation, and my father's stupidity" and describes wanting to die by suicide, but feeling like carrying out a shooting was "better for evolution rather than just one stupid boring suicide."
