Minneapolis, Aug 27 (AP) A shooting occurred Wednesday during the first week of classes at a Minneapolis Catholic school, the Minnesota governor and authorities said. There was no immediate information on any injuries.

Gov Tim Waltz said on social media that he had been briefed on a shooting at Annunciation Catholic School.

“I’m praying for our kids and teachers whose first week of school was marred by this horrific act of violence,” Waltz wrote on X.

A person answering the phone at Annunciation School said students were being evacuated.
