Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara confirmed that two children were killed and 17 others wo¥nded in the tragic shooting at Annunciation Catholic School during the first week of classes.

Among the victims were 14 children and three elderly parishioners. O’Hara told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins that the inj¥red are expected to survive, with some already released from the hospital. “They had a range of inj¥ries. One, I believe, was like a graze wo¥nd from a gunshot,” he said.

“All the way to some very, very serious and life-thratening inj¥ries that thankfully they are expected to survive from.” Investigators recovered three legally purchased fire+rms from the scene. O’Hara confirmed the sh++ter had recently obtained a state-issued permit to buy firearms.

“I don’t have information about where specifically those weapons were purchased, but they were purchased lawfully,” he noted.

Four search warrants have been executed at the church and three Twin Cities residences linked to the suspect, Robin Westman, 23. Authorities, with help from the FBI, are reviewing seized documents.

O’Hara revealed that Westman released a manifesto on YouTube containing “disturbing writings” and added, “What we’ve seen so far is just a variety of hate.

Right now, we don’t have a clear motive… we’re hopeful that once we are able to go through the scene and all of the evidence that’s collected, that we’ll be able to better provide answers for our community.” Police also said Westman had personal ties to the parish. “We believe that the suspect, at some point, was a student here, or a member of the parish, and that a family member here also worked for the church,” O’Hara explained.

The Minneapolis community is left reeling as investigators work to piece together a motive. While survivors begin their long recovery, officials stress their commitment to uncovering the full truth behind the attack.
