A shooter opened fire at Minneapolis Catholic school on Wednesday, killing two children and injuring 17 other people before killing himself, officials said. The children who died were 8 and 10.
The children were celebrating Mass during the first week of school. Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara, said that the shooter was armed with a rifle, shotgun and pistol. The shooter came to the side of the church and shot dozens of rounds through the windows towards children sitting in the pews during Mass.
"This was a deliberate act of violence against innocent children and other people worshipping. The sheer cruelty and cowardice of firing into a church full of children is absolutely incomprehensible," the police chief said.
