Two children, aged eight and 10, have been killed and 17 other people are injured following a school shooting in Minneapolis, police say.
The attack happened during morning Mass at Annunciation Catholic School – here’s what we know so far.
The suspect was armed with a rifle, shotgun and pistol and shot through the church windows, police say, and died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
The attacker has been identified as Robin Westman, 23, from suburban Minneapolis, law enforcement sources tell CBS.
Police Chief Brian O’Hara calls it a “deliberate act of violence against children and worshippers”.
Of those injured, 14 are children, and two are in a critical condition, police say.
“Don’t say this is about thoughts and prayers – these kids were literally praying,” Mayor Jacob Frey says during an emotional news conference.
President Donald Trump proclaims that US flags at the White House and all public buildings will be flown at half-staff until sunset “as a mark of respect for the victims.”
