US shooting at Minneapolis school kills two people, injures 20

Seventeen others, including 14 children, were injured during the shooting during a mass that marked the first week of school, police said. Two children are in critical condition, police said.

Brian Leege, who lives two blocks from the school, told ABC News he was having breakfast with his daughter when he heard dozens of gunshots over two to three minutes.

"My husband's a firefighter, and he got a phone call this morning [that] said that there was a incident at Annunciation, and that's where my niece and nephew go to school ... so he just took off on foot," Emily Feste told Minneapolis ABC affiliate KSTP. "We heard about 15 minutes ago that they're safe. But it's so awful and it's so scary."

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

President Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social that he's been "fully briefed on the tragic shooting."

"The White House will continue to monitor this terrible situation. Please join me in praying for everyone involved!" he wrote.
