The peaceful morning at a Catholic school in Minneapolis turned into a nightmare when a gunman opened fire through the church windows as students gathered for Mass. Two children lost their lives and 18 others were wounded in the attack, leaving the entire community in shock. 😢🙏
One of the students who was present during the shooting shared what it felt like to be caught in the crossfire. “I was kneeling in prayer when I heard the first shot,” they said. “Within seconds, chaos erupted—kids were screaming, people were scrambling for cover.”
The survivor described the rush of adrenaline that kicked in, helping them lead younger classmates to safety. “I just remember shouting, ‘Stay down! Follow me!’ We made it out through a back exit, but I still can’t shake the sound of those gunshots.”
Local police are continuing their investigation to piece together exactly how and why this tragedy unfolded. Authorities have urged anyone with information to come forward as they search for answers and hope to prevent future attacks.
For the students and families affected, the road to recovery will be long, but the bravery shown that day is a reminder of how courage and community spirit can shine through even the darkest moments. 💪💙
