Two children were killed Wednesday and at least 17 people were injured when a gunman fired through the windows of a Minneapolis Catholic church toward young people worshipping at Mass, authorities said.
The shooting occurred at Annunciation Church, which also houses a school, just before 8:30 a.m., authorities said. The gunman approached the outside of the church building and fired inside toward the children sitting in pews, Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara said.
The gunman then took his own life at the rear of the church, O'Hara said.
