EMS Union Leaders Join Lawmakers to Call for More Support After Annunciation Shooting
Bishop Michael J. Izen visited hospitalized victims of the Minneapolis church shooting, including 12-year-old Sophia Forchas and Lydia Kaiser, both requiring ongoing medical care, the bishop said.
- This past week, Auxiliary Bishop Michael J. Izen visited Hennepin Healthcare, blessing and praying over 12-year-old Sophia Forchas and visiting Lydia Kaiser and other Annunciation families and students.
- On Aug. 27, a gunman fired three guns through stained-glass windows during an all-school Mass at Annunciation Catholic Church and School, Minneapolis, killing two children and injuring 21 others before the suspected shooter died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound at the scene.
- As of Thursday, Sophia Forchas, 12-year-old, remained in critical condition at HCMC with head injuries and swelling-control surgery, while Lydia Kaiser, injured protecting her 'buddy', is steadily improving.
- Parish leaders set up fundraisers and GoFundMe pages, the Annunciation parish's Minneapolis Taste of Greece Festival Sept. 5-7 will collect donations, and church leaders held three prayer services as bishops visited families.
- On Thursday, Sept. 4, Hennepin County Association of Paramedics and EMTs gathered at the Capitol to warn of EMS burnout and funding gaps despite $30 million in one-time funding, with Daniel Kiley saying, `Following this senseless tragedy, our leadership publicly stated that the responders were, and I quote, 'doing pretty well, and that they would be given the rest of the day off'.
