2 children dead in Minneapolis church shooting<br /><br />Two children were killed and 17 other people were wounded on Aug. 27, 2025 at a Minneapolis Catholic school when a shooter dressed in black opened fire on students attending Mass on the third day of school, authorities said. The assailant fired through the windows at students sitting in pews and entering the church and then killed himself, officials said. Two students, 8 years old and 10 years old, were pronounced dead at the scene, they said. The shooting was one of the first signs that the epidemic of gun violence at US schools in recent years has not abated as the fall semester opens. It also shows the difficulty that authorities face in stopping such shootings, even though new technologies, screening techniques and policing protocols have been developed over the years to prevent recurrences. The shooter in Minneapolis was able to avoid safeguards against intruders entering the school by targeting children through the windows of a nearby church.<br /><br />ABC AFFILIATE KSTP / REUTERS<br /><br />Subscribe to The Manila Times Channel - https://tmt.ph/YTSubscribe <br />Visit our website at https://www.manilatimes.net <br /> <br />Follow us: <br />Facebook - https://tmt.ph/facebook <br />Instagram - https://tmt.ph/instagram <br />Twitter - https://tmt.ph/twitter <br />DailyMotion - https://tmt.ph/dailymotion <br /> <br />Subscribe to our Digital Edition - https://tmt.ph/digital <br />Sign up to our newsletters: https://tmt.ph/newsletters<br /> <br />Check out our Podcasts: <br />Spotify - https://tmt.ph/spotify <br />Apple Podcasts - https://tmt.ph/applepodcasts <br />Amazon Music - https://tmt.ph/amazonmusic <br />Deezer: https://tmt.ph/deezer <br />Tune In: https://tmt.ph/tunein<br /> <br />#TheManilaTimes<br />#WorldNews<br />#USA
