Harper Moyski Remembered at Lake Harriet as Annunciation School Sets Limited Return This Week

The school begins a cautious, support-centered return under a visible security presence.

Overview

  • Hundreds gathered Sunday at the Lake Harriet Bandshell to celebrate the life of 10-year-old Harper Moyski, one of two students killed in the Aug. 27 church shooting.
  • Annunciation Catholic School will bring students back Tuesday on a modified schedule centered on support, connection and play.
  • Counselors from the Washburn Center for Children and the Minnesota Department of Education will be on campus, alongside extra staff and a visible security presence.
  • Doctors report 12-year-old Sophia Forchas has been upgraded from critical to serious condition and continues to make gradual progress.
  • Authorities say 23-year-old former student Robin Westman fired more than 100 rounds with multiple firearms before dying of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot, and Gov. Tim Walz continues to press for a special gun-safety session with proposals including bans on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, a safe-storage law, liability insurance and a stronger red-flag law.
