\nThree people were dead and 20 injured in a shooting at a Catholic school in the south end of Minneapolis on Wednesday, a US Justice Department official said.
\nThe shooter was among those killed, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
\nThe shooting occurred two days after school started at Annunciation Catholic school, a private elementary school with about 395 students. The school is connected to Annunciation Catholic Church, and both are located in a residential area in the southeast part of Minnesota\u2019s largest city. Police in Richfield, a nearby suburb, said a man dressed all in black with a rifle was reported at the scene. Children were at a morning mass when shooting began, local media reported.
\nLocal TV showed parents ducking under yellow police crime tape and leading students out of the school. The students wore green polo shirts and blue shorts and skirts. Meanwhile, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz said in a post on X that he had been briefed on the shooting and would continue to provide updates. \u201cI\u2019m praying for our kids and teachers whose first week of school was marred by this horrific act of violence,\u201d Walz said, without providing details on potential victims.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
