Girl shot in the head in Minneapolis church attack is making ‘miraculous’ progress, family saysMINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A 12-year-old girl shot in the head during the deadly attack at a Catholic church in Minneapolis less than a month ago is making “miraculous” progress, her family said in a statement. 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. Sophia’s mother, a nurse at Hennepin Healthcare, did not know she had been shot until after she arrived at work to help treat the shooting victims. 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.
