Minneapolis: A shooting on Wednesday at a Minneapolis Catholic school killed two children as they prayed and injured 17 other people, 14 of them kids, the police chief and mayor said. The shooter also died.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara said the shooter, armed with a rifle, shotgun and pistol, approached the side of the church and shot through the windows toward the children sitting in the pews during Mass at the Annunciation Catholic School.

CBS said 15 children were being treated in local hospitals. Local radio reported several were in a critical condition.

The Minneapolis city government said the shooter had been “contained” after the gunfire at Annunciation Catholic School, and there was no longer any “active threat” to residents.

The school was evacuated, and students’ families were later directed to a “reunification zone” at the school.

Trump just released a statement on Truth Social: “I have been fully briefed on the tragic shooting in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The FBI quickly responded and they are on the scene. The White House will continue to monitor this terrible situation. Please join me in praying for everyone involved!”
