While her medical team remains cautiously optimistic, the family said Sophia shows signs of neurological recovery just weeks after doctors were unsure whether she would survive.
This undated photo in September 2025 shows Sophia Forchas, who was wounded in the Church of Annunciation shooting in Minneapolis, on Wednesday, Aug. 27, 2025.
Surgeons had to remove the left half of her skull to relieve the pressure inside her head.
"Though she still has a long journey ahead, filled with extensive therapy, her resilience continues to inspire hope at every step," her family said.
