Minneapolis police have revised the total count of victims in the August shooting at Annunciation Catholic Church to 30.
Authorities had previously reported 23 victims. Police said Wednesday they’ve increased their count, as more people have reported injuries.
“As the investigation continued, investigators learned of victims who were brought to hospitals on their own and many of the additional victims had wounds from shrapnel that were not discovered until later,” police spokesperson Garrett Parten said.
Parten said 29 of the 30 victims were injured by gunfire. That includes 10-year-old Harper Moyski and 8-year-old Fletcher Merkel, the two children killed; plus 24 other children and three adults who were injured by gunfire.
