At to the lowest degree fivesome children were injured in a shot wed during the number one week of classes at a Minneapolis Catholic school, authorities and a hospital said. Gov. Tim Walz called the violence "horrific."
Minneapolis city officials said the shooter had been "contained" after the gunfire at Annunciation Catholic School and there was no longer any "active threat" to residents.
Walz said on social media that he had been briefed on the shooting. "I'm praying for our kids and teachers whose first week of school was marred by this horrific act of violence," Walz wrote on X.
Children's Minnesota, a pediatric trauma hospital, said in a statement that five children were admitted for care. Hennepin Healthcare, which has Minnesota's largest emergency department, said it also was caring for patients from the shooting.
U.S. President Donald Trump said in a Truth Social post that he was briefed on the "tragic shooting" and that the White House would continue to monitor it.
The elementary school, which dates back to 1923, had an all-school Mass scheduled at 8:15 a.m. Wednesday for its students, who range from pre-kindergarten to Grade 8, according to its website. Monday was the first day of classes for the school.
Minnesota was rocked by a shooting spree in June. Police have accused a man who they say was disguised as a law enforcement official of fatally shooting former Democratic House speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband. The couple was shot at their home in the northern Minneapolis suburbs, while another Democratic lawmaker and his wife were seriously injured a few kilometres away.
