Minneapolis authorities have confirmed the death of two children of age 8 and 10, after a gunman opened fire at the Annunciation Catholic School morning mass on the south side of Minneapolis.
According to police, seventeen others, including 14 children, were injured in the mass shooting.
Reports indicate that the incident took place on the first week of school for the school complex, at a time of mass which had most of the children observing prayer time at a catholic church on the same compound.
Meanwhile, police confirm that the gunman who police say was in his early 20s, died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
The city of Minneapolis said that there is no active threat at this time.
Agents with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives have at least one firearm in their possession from the shooter, and they are beginning the tracing protocol, according to an ATF source in Minneapolis.
