What We Know: A shooter opened fire into a Catholic Mass at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis just before 8:30 a.m. According to police, the suspect fired into the church from a window before taking his own life. Two children, ages 8 and 10, were killed, and 17 other individuals were injured. Fourteen of the injured are children and some remain in critical condition, according to Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara.  

The suspect was in his early 20s and did not have an “extensive criminal history,” according to police. He was armed with a rifle, shotgun and pistol. The pre-kindergarten through eighth grade school had just begun its school year on Monday.  

City officials say there is no active threat at this time.
