Deadly Shooting Shatters Minneapolis Catholic School PeaceTwo children died and 17 people were injured in a targeted attack during a school Mass on August 27, 2025.
- A gunman fired through stained-glass windows during a worship service at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis.
- The attack resulted in the deaths of two children and injuries to 17 others, including elderly parishioners.
- The 23-year-old shooter, an alumnus of the school, died by suicide and had recently purchased the weapons legally.
- Community leaders and officials called for meaningful action beyond prayers to prevent future gun violence.
These are kids that should be learning with their friends. They should be playing on the playground. They should be able to go to school or church in peace without the fear or risk of violence.— Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, urging the community and the nation to move beyond platitudes and take action to curb gun violence in America.
