A shooting was reported this morning at Minneapolis, Minnesota’s Annunciation Church and Catholic School.
According to reports, students were attending a Wednesday morning mass when the gunfire started.
It is unclear exactly how many were injured or killed at this time.
One reporter with CBS Minnesota choked up as she recounted seeing children walk out of the school with bandages on their arms. CBS also aired a graphic that states “as many as 20” were wounded.
WATCH:
The shooter is “contained,” officials say. Reports suggest that he was dressed in all black and may have killed himself.

Stay away from the area to allow emergency personnel to help victims – W. 54th Street between Lyndale and Nicollet Ave.”
