It's been a very difficult day, I think, for everybody watching, for me too.

We are bringing to you right now the scene inside the Academy of Holy Angels High School

Gym in Minneapolis, Minnesota, where the community has shown up in droves to mourn.

They had to add seats in the community.

They had to.

This was around an event that happened just this morning.

And they're there to honor the lives

of the two children tragically killed, as well as the many injured in today's horrific mass

shooting at Enunciation Catholic School. This is one of several prayer vigils and services that

are taking place across the Twin Cities tonight as the whole state comes together to grieve

this senseless loss. Now Monday, and I know

many people watching, maybe their kids, maybe your grandkids have experienced this this week. Monday

was the first day back at school for the children at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis,

Minnesota. So today, at 8.15 this morning, all of the school students filled the pews of the

school's church for the first mass of the year, something that is very much a tradition at Catholic

schools, and certainly this one. Just before 8.30, the first 911 call started coming in. A shooter

had begun firing into the church from outside of the building.

Firing through the church's stained glass windows, police say the doors of the church appeared to

have been barricaded from the outside with two by four wood planks trapping everyone inside.

Accounts have varied on whether the gunfire lasted 45 seconds or two minutes, and there's a lot of

things that we are still learning. But all of the reports describe steady gunfire lasted 45 seconds or two minutes, and there's a lot of things that we are still learning.

But all of the reports describe steady gunfire consistent with a semi-automatic weapon.
