Minneapolis Police

For National First Responders Day, we are highlighting six MPD officers who share their reflections on being among the first to arrive at the tragedy at Annunciation Church. Their courage and actions during an incredibly difficult incident helped save lives.

Officials provide another update at 2:30 p.m. on the shooting at the Church of the Annunciation. View the livestream at youtube.com/live/2Bm0eoGYh….

Two children are dead and 17 others are injured after a suspected shooter fired through the windows of the Church of the Annunciation (509 W. 54th St.) during a morning mass service to mark the beginning of the school year. minneapolismn.gov/news/2025/augu…

Continue to avoid the area of W. 54th Street between Lyndale and Nicollet avenues as this is still an active scene and for the privacy of the victims’ families. There is no safety threat to the public.

We are still awaiting more information about a federal law enforcement operation in South Minneapolis today.
