Minneapolis catholic school shooting



Several children were injured in a shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis. FOX 9 sources confirm the suspect is dead and authorities say there is no active threat to the community.

The Richfield Police Department said, “A man dressed in all black and armed with a rifle was reported at the scene. Reuters, citing a DOJ official, is reporting three people, including the shooter, are dead and about 20 people are injured. The Associated Press is reporting a Minneapolis hospital is treating five children.

Neighbors reported hearing significant gunfire, so much that they didn’t think it was actually gunfire.

The church and school are on the 500 block of West 54th Street in south Minneapolis, near the intersection of 54th and Lyndale.

The school is for kindergarten through eighth-graders. They started school on Monday. They have mass at 8:15 a.m. on Wednesdays, and students were reportedly in mass at the time of the shooting.

The FBI, ATF, Homeland Security, the Minnesota State Patrol, and local authorities are on the scene. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey is also at the scene.
