On Aug. 27, 2025, a shooter stood outside of 

 in Minneapolis and opened fire through the stained glass windows. Children who had gathered for Mass during the first week of school dove for cover as bullets ricocheted off the pews. Older children shielded younger classmates with their bodies.  

Two students were killed that day. Many other children and adults were wounded, some critically. Eight months later, the Annunciation community continues to heal from the grief and terror. 

MPR News host Angela Davis talks with two parents and the principal at Annunciation about what recovery looks like — including how 

 are using their voices in the legislature and elsewhere to make sure no other children go through what their families experienced.
