Minnesota Catholic School Shooting Kills 2 Children, Injures 17

A tragic shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis during a school mass left two children dead and at least 17 others injured, many of whom are children between the ages of 6 and 14. The gunman, a man in his early twenties armed with a rifle, shotgun, and pistol, fired through church windows targeting children sitting in the pews before dying from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Police and emergency officials are still investigating the motive, with no known criminal history for the suspect. Mayor Jacob Frey condemned the violence and emphasized the need for action beyond thoughts and prayers, noting the children were literally praying when attacked. President Donald Trump and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz have been briefed on the incident and offered prayers for the victims and their families. Hospitals are treating multiple children, some in critical condition, while law enforcement continues to secure the scene and investigate.
