Case against father of Abundant Life Christian School shooter to continue

The case against the father of the Abundant Life Christian School shooter will continue after a judge denied a motion Thursday to dismiss the complaint filed against him. Attorneys for 43-year-old Jeffrey Rupnow alleged that the criminal complaint “omits critical material facts” and has “false and/or misleading facts.”  Attorneys for Rupnow move to have complaint against him dismissed. Rupnow is charged with two counts of intentionally giving a dangerous weapon to a person under 18 and one count of contributing to the delinquency of a child. He is accused of giving his 15-year-old daughter access to guns despite knowledge of her ongoing mental health struggles. Rupnow’s daughter killed two people and hurt six more before dying by suicide in a shooting at the Abundant Life Christian School in Madison on Dec. 16, 2024. A date for Rupnow’s next court appearance has not yet been set.
