The Abundant Life Christian School shooting in Madison, Wisconsin, has sparked unsettling comparisons after it emerged that the 15-year-old shooter, Natalie 'Samantha' Rupnow, was photographed wearing the same shirt as Columbine killer Eric Harris.

Rupnow, who killed a teacher and student before turning the gun on herself, donned a black shirt emblazoned with the "tumbling logo" design from the 1997 Symbols tour of German industrial band KMFDM.

The band's merchandise and music are historically linked to the Columbine High School massacre, where Harris and fellow shooter Dylan Klebold wore similar shirts in public photos.

The resemblance was first identified on social media platforms, where users noted the unsettling connection between Rupnow's attire and Harris's infamous look.

According to , the 15-year-old was carrying out a "planned attack," although police have not yet established a definitive motive.

The shirt choice in one of her photos circulating online, however, has prompted widespread debate online, with many questioning whether the teenager was influenced by Columbine's legacy.

The design, which features KMFDM's distinctive tumbling logo, has been a recurring symbol in discussions surrounding school shootings.

The band's music has become inadvertently tied to a dark subculture of school shootings, despite KMFDM's public condemnation of violence.
