Hey everybody, welcome to the program. I'm so happy that you're here. Good evening, welcome to the Don Lemon Show. This is Lemon Live at Five. I have a lot in store for you. It has been a very odd day with some very, very strange stories that I need to tell you about. There is a tragic shooting and in any other time, and so with any other time, we'd be like, people would be outraged. There would be concerned. My concern is that we have grown too used to doing these stories. So let's talk about all of this. By the way, if you are in if you're on the show now and you are one of our legend members, you're going to get to join the show. Make sure you check. I sent you a private email just so that you can get on.
So check out your private notices and other things. And as well, Nikki, there's another place where they can find it as well at the bottom of what? private thing that I sent and then something else.
So if you guys, they can find it on our community page or there was a members only video that just went out before this. So if you look at that video, there will be a link at the bottom in the description for that video for you guys to sign on to the zoom call and you'll get to chat with Don.
Yeah, so we want to make sure that we're giving you everything that we promise you. That's for our legend members. So thank you so much for joining us. I'm going to start off with this shooting, okay? This is breaking news. Sadly, another tragic school shooting to tell you about. This one, there's a twist to it because this one is a woman shooter. One taking place in Madison, Wisconsin. At least three people are injured and more are hurt. I'm going to bring you the very latest momentarily. And then another top story today that I need to discuss with you, one that may sound silly, but it is in fact quite serious, everyone. Are we on the cusp of an invasion? Because folks don't know what's going on. A foreign invasion or a true and proper alien invasion.
We said it's a UFO because technically it is an unidentified flying object. That's what folks are talking about on social media in the wake of thousands of mysterious flying vehicle sightings. They say it's a drone, but they're as big as an SUV. They've been sighted across America in the Northeast. The Biden administration's lack of answers, not helping the situation as well. We're going to dig into all of it tonight to separate the fact from fiction. And then a little bit later on, as I said, we've got a treat for you all. The Lemon Legend membership tier, they're going to get to call into the show, chat with us about what's on their minds, and it's going to be fun. So I'm glad that you're here. Okay, let's talk about this school shooting.
The school shooting happening in Madison, Wisconsin, at a Christian school there happened this afternoon, casting the small-to-small religious community into chaos and mourning just days before the school was going to close for Christmas. Police rushed into the Abundant Life Christian School in response to reports of an active shooter. Madison Police Chief Sean Barnes said... The juvenile shooting suspect was found dead at the scene, according to police. Contrary to most school shootings, the shooter at the Abundant Life Christian School in Madison was a female. A law enforcement official briefed on the shooting has told reporters the Abundant Life Christian School shooting in Madison, Wisconsin, marks at least the 83rd shooting.
of 2024, surpassing 2023 for the most school shootings in a single year. Of the 83 school shootings this year, 56 have been reported on K through 12 campuses and 27 on university and college campuses. So there's been a significant rise that I'm gonna tell you about. Let's put it up. After a significant dip in 2020, to only 22 school shootings. The phenomenon exploded in 2021, and this spike in school shootings has continued. So look, this is a crisis, a crisis that we need to pay attention to. I wanna get you started. This is the police chief addressing the media earlier today, watch.
