Police in Minneapolis neutralised a gunman after a shooting at Annunciation Catholic School that left at least two children dead while several others feared injured, Reuters reported.
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, said, “I’ve been briefed on a shooting at Annunciation Catholic School and will continue to provide updates as we get more information."
Tim Walz said he was “praying for our kids and teachers whose first week of school was marred by this horrific act of violence," though he gave no immediate details on casualties or the condition of those inside the school.
US President Donald Trump said he had been “fully briefed" on the incident. Writing on Truth Social, he noted that the FBI had “quickly responded and they are on the scene", adding that the White House would continue to monitor developments.
“Please join me in praying for everyone involved," he wrote.
Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey said he was “monitoring reports of horrific violence in South Minneapolis". In a statement on X, he said he had been in touch with the city’s police chief and that the emergency response team had been activated.
“We will share more information as soon as we can. Please give our officers the space they need to respond to the situation," he added.
US Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem said the Department of Homeland Security was monitoring the “horrific shooting" and was in contact with other agencies.
“I am praying for the victims of this heinous attack and their families," she said.
Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar also expressed grief, saying she was “heartbroken by the horrific violence" at the school.
“My prayers are with the students, teachers, and families, and I am grateful for the first responders who are on the scene," she said.
The shooting came amid a spate of violence in Minneapolis, where one person was killed and six injured in a shooting outside a high school on Tuesday afternoon. Later the same day, two further incidents left two more people dead.
