South Minneapolis School Drama: Shooter Contained, Prayers Activated
On a notably unremarkable Wednesday morning at Minneapolis' Annunciation Catholic School, serving the tiniest angels from pre-K to eighth grade, a shooting stealthily interrupted morning mass. Around 9:20am, a city text alert confidently declared 'shooter contained' and 'no active threat,' which must have comforted everyone more than a lukewarm coffee. Governor Tim Walz, ever the multitasker, tweeted his prayers and a heads-up that the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension and State Patrol were onsite, while Katie Cashman dropped a bombshell email about multiple wounded kids and staff. Meanwhile, President Trump chimed in from Truth Social (because where else) assuring ongoing White House monitoring and prayer requests. This incident capped off a deadly 24-hour drama in Minneapolis with three other fatal shootings, making it a veritable âcrime trilogyâ not yet ready for Netflix.

Nothing screams community care like a city text at 9:20am that says âshooter containedâ right after multiple kids and staff got shot during morning mass. Prayer warriors and federal agencies all called in, because why not turn tragedy into a big group chat?
Welcome to Minneapolis, where the start of school week comes with an FBI cameo and everyoneâs favorite line: âshooter contained.â Instructions unclear, sending prayers in bulk instead of speedy responses.
If you thought waking up to a âshooter containedâ alert at a Catholic school wasnât surreal enough, add in press conferences by the governor, the mayor moderating X, and Trump tweeting prayers too. It's like a multi-level disaster fundraiser.
