At least two people have been killed and more than a dozen injured in a shooting at Blessed Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, ABC reported.

The shooter has been neutralized and "there is no active threat to the community," city officials said. According to sources, the suspect died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

The school serves children from preschool through eighth grade. Young children in uniforms were seen leaving the school, held by the hands of their parents.

"I am praying for our children and teachers whose first week of school was marred by this horrific act of violence," Minnesota Governor Tim Walz wrote on social media.

Waltz said state authorities were at the scene of the incident. Agents from the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives also responded.

President Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social that he was "fully informed about the tragic shooting." 

"The White House will continue to monitor this horrific situation. Please join me in praying for all those affected!" he wrote.

The Department of Homeland Security is monitoring the shooting, said Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.

"My prayers go out to the victims of this heinous attack and their families," Noem added. | BGNES
