A teacher and a 17-year-old student have been killed and six others are injured in a shooting at a school in Wisconsin.

Madison Police Chief Shon Barnes says the suspect, a teenager who was a student at the Abundant Life Christian School in Madison, is also among the dead.

At least two students have suffered life-threatening injuries.

Barnes says today is a sad day not only for Madison, for the entire country and they have to do a better job in their community.

He says the police have not identified a motive for the shooting, and the suspect's family was co-operating with the investigation.
