Two children dead after gunman ‘pepper-sprays’ Minneapolis church with gunfire during Mass

Two children, aged eight and ten, were killed and 17 others were hurt when a gunman opened fire on a Minneapolis church during Mass as parishioners prayed.

The terror in Minneapolis began around 8:30 a.m. when a gunman stood outside Annunciation Catholic School and started to shoot through the windows. Fourteen other children, ages six through 15, were injured. Three adults in their 80s were also hurt in the mass shooting. The gunman died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to Police Chief Brian O’Hara.
