At least two children, aged 8 and 10, were killed, and 17 others were injured during a shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis on Wednesday morning that occurred while students were attending Mass. The shooter, a male in his 20s, reportedly fired from outside the church using multiple firearms before taking his own life in the parking lot. All the injured victims are expected to survive, Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara said. FBI Director Kash Patel said his agency is “investigating this shooting as an act of domestic terrorism and hate crime targeting Catholics.” Annunciation Catholic School Principal Matt DeBoer said the school’s teachers acted quickly and heroically during the shooting, adding: “It could have been significantly worse without their heroic action. This is a nightmare, but we call our staff the dream team, and we will recover from this.”

Uvalde CISD has come under fire for releasing only a small portion of the documents related to the 2022 Robb Elementary School massacre. During a recent school board meeting, attorney Robb Decker admitted that the law firm representing the district made an error in not releasing all promised documents, stating: “We are not in any way trying to hide anything.” The district had previously released over 3,500 pages of documents after years of litigation, but it was revealed that around 90% of records and emails were not disclosed as expected. Family members, including Jesse Rizo, uncle of victim Jackie Cazares, expressed frustration over the situation, with Rizo commenting: “There’s no excuse for that sir.” The district plans to release an additional 26,000 pages and 8,600 emails by next week, although many of the documents provided little new information.

After a deadly shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis that killed two children and injured 18 others, schools nationwide are ramping up security. Districts in Minnesota, New York, and California are increasing patrols, enhancing building protections, and reviewing emergency protocols. “The Catholic Diocese of Pittsburgh told its security officers to be extra vigilant,” according to KDKA News. Many schools are also emphasizing mental health services, like Eden Prairie’s outreach and Minneapolis schools offering the HelpMe app for support. In Florida, parents in Palm Beach County are reevaluating local school safety. St. Juliana Catholic School is among many schools in the area that are fenced and have regular police or security patrols, though church buildings often remain open to the public. The Archdiocese of Palm Beach stated that all schools have safety procedures and Emergency Operation Plans but declined to provide specifics.
