Authorities have “contained” a shooter after Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz said police had responded to the scene of a shooting at a Catholic school in Minneapolis.
“There is no active threat to the community at this time,” the city of Minneapolis said in a post on X. “The shooter is contained.”
Walz had earlier said he’d been “briefed on a shooting at Annunciation Catholic School and will continue to provide updates as we get more information.” The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension and the State Patrol are on the scene, the governor added.
“I’m praying for our kids and teachers whose first week of school was marred by this horrific act of violence,” the governor said.
