Sophia Forchas, critically injured in a Minneapolis school shooting that killed two children and injured 18 others, underwent emergency surgery while her mother worked in the pediatric ICU.
- On Aug. 27, a gunman opened fire shortly before 8:30 a.m. at Annunciation Church and Catholic School in south Minneapolis, firing dozens of rounds from a rifle, shotgun, and pistol through stained-glass windows toward children.

- Sophia Forchas, 12, remains in the ICU after emergency surgery, while her mother, a pediatric critical care nurse at Hennepin Healthcare, aided victims before knowing her daughter was injured.
- Fundraisers quickly raised nearly $250,000 in 24 hours, topping more than $300,000, while St. Mary's parish invited the public to a Thursday at 6 p.m. prayer service, Sas said.
