At least two children have died and over a dozen are injured after a shooting this morning (August 27, 2025) at a private school in Minnesota,the Christian Post website reports.
Authorities responded to reports of a shooter at Annunciation Church and Catholic School in Minneapolis, which occurred around the time that students were at weekly mass.
Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara said at a press conference that it was "an unthinkable tragedy" that occurred during the first week of school. A gunman believed to be in his 20s fired through the church windows, hitting children and other worshipers, O'Hara said.
Two children, aged 10 and 8, were among the dead.There were 17 other injuries, including 14 children, two of whom were in critical condition.
"The sheer cruelty and cowardice of firing into a church full of children is absolutely incomprehensible," O'Hara said. "The coward who fired these shots ultimately took his own life in the rear of the church."
O'Hara did not identify the gunman, and a motive is not yet clear.
