An early-20s male allegedly fired a rifle, a shotgun, and a handgun through windows into the adjoining church at Annunciation Catholic School during morning mass. Two children, ages eight and ten, were killed; 17 others, including 14 children, were wounded, with two children in critical condition. The shooter is believed to have died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The attack occurred while students were praying to mark the start of the school year. Law enforcement described the act as senseless and used the word "cowardice" to characterize the shooter’s actions.
At the time, students were attending mass to mark the beginning of a new school year. Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara later said in a press conference that the shooter a male in his early 20s fired a rifle, a shotgun, and a handgun outside the school's adjoining church. Following the shooting, he's believed to have died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Following O'Hara's presser, Bash remarked how absolutely senseless the tragedy was: This is something that is beyond recognition. We heard the word cowardice multiple times from the police chief Brian O'Hara about the situation that is just absolutely senseless senseless. And the way in which this alleged shooter conducted this killing spree is just beyond imagination. CNN's Isabel Rosales is following all of these breaking developments.
