Madison Police requests formal review of Abundant Life Christian School shooting

The Madison Police Department said on Wednesday that it has requested a formal review of the deadly Abundant Life Christian School shooting. Police stated that this request comes with the utmost respect for the victims, their loved ones, and the students and staff affected by the tragedy. The after-action review will provide an unbiased evaluation of the response to the incident and focus on the coordination between responding agencies. Madison Police Chief John Patterson said the review is about improving and learning, not blame.  Madison police have since partnered with the U.S. Department of Justice’s Office of Community Oriented Policing Services and the National Policing Institute to conduct the review, which will focus on what did and did not work during the response.
