BREAKING: Mass Casualty Shooting Reported At Minneapolis Catholic School

Students and staff at the Annunciation Catholic School need prayers.

A mass casualty event has been reported at the Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Initial reports have revealed the gunman of the shooting is now dead, but the number of victims has yet to be released.

CNN reported first on the horrific event:

Authorities have “contained” a shooter after Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz said police had responded to the scene of a shooting at a Catholic school in Minneapolis.

“There is no active threat to the community at this time,” the city of Minneapolis said in a post on X. “The shooter is contained.”

Walz had earlier said he’d been “briefed on a shooting at Annunciation Catholic School and will continue to provide updates as we get more information.” The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension and the State Patrol are on the scene, the governor added.

“I’m praying for our kids and teachers whose first week of school was marred by this horrific act of violence,” the governor said.

Tim Walz stood in front of cameras boasting about safety… yet here we are, watching Minneapolis drown in bloodshed.

“EMS has requested mass casualty. … If any of you are doctors or otherwise first responders that could help — it seems to be a fairly significant shooting,” said Martin, who is the former head of the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party and is in Minneapolis for a DNC convention.
