Brett Favre heartbroken as Wisconsin Christian school shooting leaves 3 dead

Tragedy struck Monday in Wisconsin, when a school shooting left three dead, including students, and several injured. The incident took place at Abundant Life Christian School in Madison and was allegedly carried out by a 15-year-old female student.

Hall of Famer Brett Favre, who spent 15 years in Wisconsin during his time with the Green Bay Packers, was shocked to learn of the incident and expressed his condolences to the families and loved ones of the victims.

In a post on X, Favre wrote:

“I heard about the shooting in Wisconsin… It’s always hard to imagine a tragedy like this. All I can say is that my thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected by this; I wish things like this never happened.”

Brett Favre’s heartfelt message to Grant DuBose

This was the second time in the last two days that Brett Favre was moved by a tragic incident. On Sunday, the quarterback felt his stomach turn after the Miami Dolphins’ Grant DuBose took a brutal shot to the head in his team’s loss to the Houston Texans.

The receiver remained on the ground and had to be carted off the field after receiving medical assistance. Head coach Mike McDaniel revealed that DuBose has movement in all of his extremities, but remained at the Houston hospital overnight for further evaluation.

Favre expressed concern for the receiver’s well-being, shared a message with his loved ones and reminded everyone how dangerous football can be. He posted:

“Football can be a beautiful and brutal thing at the same time. Unfortunately, this is the latter. Prayers for Grant and his family.”

Favre is well aware of the harmful effects of football. In September, the Hall of Famer revealed that he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s, which was likely caused by head injuries he suffered during his time in the league. DuBose’s injury was a relatable experience for the former Packers quarterback, which explains why he became emotional about it.
