Overview

• Minneapolis opened a Neighborhood Community Support and Resource Center at Lynnhurst Park offering victim services, counseling, therapy animals and assistance with crime-victim financial aid applications.
• Police said they identified three additional injured children, bringing the total to 23 victims, including two students killed and three octogenarian parishioners wounded.
• Search warrants at the church and residences yielded hundreds of evidentiary items, and authorities say the suspect died of a self-inflicted gunshot and is believed to have acted alone.
• As the school year begins, Minneapolis police will increase patrols at schools, with additional state crews helping safeguard schools and places of worship.
• Child-mental-health experts advise normalizing short-term reactions, monitoring for ongoing symptoms and drawing on peer connections, as the community organizes memorials and volunteer support.
