A TikTok account tied to the 15-year-old Wisconsin school shooter who killed two people and injured six has been deleted after a slew of complaints over racist posts, according to a report.
Natalie “Samantha” Rupnow’s page was flagged by the Anti-Defamation League’s Center on Extremism and featured troubling white supremacist phrases, TMZ reported.
The account, operating under the username @targetedbloodsport, contained just two videos referencing the movie “Fight Club,” including the song played in the closing credits, the Pixies’ “Where Is My Mind” as well as a caption, “May I die like how beautiful rain is.”
The bio was just the words “totally nice day” — which the ADL told TMZ is rendered by racists as “TND,” for “total N-word death.”
The videos were also inundated with disturbing comments soon after the tragic shooting in Madison, Wisconsin, according to the report.
The page was deleted soon after Tiktok was approached for a comment, TMZ said.
One of the deleted videos featured the Pixies song, “Where is My Mind,” famously played in the final moments of the final scenes of the film Fight Club. The second post featured an actor from the film, Edward Norton, with the caption “total schizo honestly” according to the report.
Despite mounting attention, police have not yet identified Rupnow’s motive in the Monday shooting at Abundant Life Christian School
Authorities revealed Wednesday that the gunwoman had a possible accomplice to the massacre, where she used two handguns to open fire and kill substitute teacher Erin West and freshman Rubi Vergara.
Rupnow had been in contact with Alexander Paffendorf, 20, who was planning a coordinated attack targeting a government building in California.
Police say she died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound following the twisted massacre and had been in therapy because of her troubled home life, according to court records obtained by the Washington Post.
Rupnow also had a membership on the morbid site Watch People Die, which features graphic and upsetting images of people getting shot to death, run over, and other school shooters.
She is one of just nine females to carry out a school shooting since 1999, as authorities try to pin down her motive.
