Shooting at Annunciation Catholic School
On Wednesday, Robin Westman opened fire at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis.

He later died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Over 100 rifle rounds were found at the scene.

Students’ Courage
Middle schoolers protected younger students through a “buddy system.”

Michael Burt said, “The first action by those middle schoolers was to push their buddies down under the pew.

Which is why the middle schoolers were the ones that were standing the longest and were largely the injured, acting in heroism.”

Teachers and First Responders
Marty Scheerer praised the staff: “Children protecting other children often laid on the floor and covered each other up while teachers ushered kids to safety.

That was key.” Officers and medical responders acted immediately, helping limit casualties.

Acts of Heroism
Even in hospitals, bravery continued. Dr. Jon Gayken recalled a nurse comforting a young patient during a CT scan.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara said, “There’s going to be countless lessons of bravery, from young children all the way up to elders.”
