UPDATE: On Mass Shooting At Catholic School In Minnesota, Over 17 Injured And Two Dead, Mostly Children

As the WLT Report previously reported on Wednesday morning, a mass shooting occurred at the Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Authorities have stated that the gunman in the shooting is now dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Initial reports have revealed that there have been an estimated 17 people injured in the shooting, with the majority of them being children, and two deaths.

Fox News reported the latest update on injuries in the shooting:

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara confirmed on Wednesday that two children were killed and 17 others were injured, 14 of whom were children.

“The sheer cruelty and cowardice of firing into a church full of children is absolutely incomprehensible,” O’Hara said while addressing reporters.

Additionally, O’Hara said police believe the assailant took his own life. The suspect is believed to have shot through the church windows into the area where the children were praying. He was confirmed to have a rifle, a shotgun and a pistol.

There was a smoke bomb found at the scene.

Here are videos of the scene:

NBC News reported that witnesses have revealed they saw children covered in blood leaving the school building:

Mike Garrity was walking home from the gym this morning when he heard a series of loud noises that he initially thought were coming from a nail gun at a construction site.

When he got closer to the church, he realized something terrible had happened.

Garrity, 64, who lives across the street from Annunciation, saw about a dozen crying children stream out of the school. At least three of them were covered in blood, he said.

He also saw adults who appeared to be members of the faculty or staff. “Don’t go in there,” one of them said.

Minneapolis police soon arrived at the scene, and officers darted inside the school, Garrity said.
