The suspect in the tragic mass shooting at Annunciation Catholic Church and School in Minneapolis has died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to reports from NBC News and other local sources. The incident, which took place during the first week of school and during a school-wide Mass, left up to 20 people shot.
The shooting prompted a large-scale emergency response, including a rapid deployment of the FBI, as noted by President Donald J. Trump in a statement posted to his social media. “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!” the president wrote.
While details are still emerging, initial reports suggest a chaotic and horrific scene. Emergency dispatch audio indicated a significant number of casualties, with at least two fatalities and several critical injuries. Parents were directed to a designated reunification zone to meet their children as police secured the area and confirmed there was no longer an “active threat.”
This incident marks a heartbreaking start to the school year for the Annunciation community and adds to a recent string of violent events in Minneapolis. As the investigation continues, authorities are working to piece together a motive and provide clarity on the total number of casualties.
