US Edition'Rays of Hope Shining Through': Doctor, Father Give Update on Sophia Forchas, Shot at Annunciation
Malia Kimbrell urges lawmakers to ban semi-automatic rifles and increase mental health funding after her daughter Vivian was critically wounded in the church shooting.
- On Aug. 27, a shooter opened fire at Annunciation Catholic Church during a back-to-school Mass, killing Fletcher Merkel and Harper Moyski and injuring 21 others, authorities said.
- Governor Tim Walz said Tuesday he will call a special legislative session after families, including Malia Kimbrell, demanded immediate bans on semi-automatic rifles and high-capacity magazines.
- Malia Kimbrell, nurse and mother, said her 9-year-old daughter Vivian St. Clair was shot last week and treated at Hennepin County Medical Center; `I got to take her home,` Kimbrell said.
- Despite calls for action, state politics risk producing stalemate on gun measures as Minnesota's narrowly divided Legislature hampers sweeping reforms despite Gov. Walz's special session plan.
- With funerals planned, families continue to grieve and press for change as a verified Forchas family GoFundMe raised over $971,000 and doctors say 12-year-old Sophia Forchas remains in critical condition.
