A police officer carries flowers outside the Annunciation Church’s school after the shooting on Wednesday in Minneapolis. On Wednesday, authorities recovered additional firearms at three residences in the Minneapolis area that they said are linked to the shooter. It was held to mark the first week of classes at Annunciation Catholic School, which is next door to the church, according to O’Hara. In a press conference on Wednesday, Annunciation Catholic School principal Matthew DeBoer said staff members moved students under the pews “within seconds” of the shooting. “Adults were protecting children, older children were protecting younger children,” he said.
