Overview

• Sophia Forchas remains in critical condition in Hennepin Healthcare's pediatric ICU, where doctors continue to manage brain swelling.
• Her neurosurgeon said a bullet remains lodged in her brain, a major blood vessel was damaged, and surgeons removed the left half of her skull to relieve pressure.
• Doctors noted early signs of responsiveness, including eye opening, purposeful movement on her left side and slight movement in her right leg, though she is not yet following commands.
• Her father thanked the care team and supporters worldwide, and her mother, a pediatric critical care nurse at the hospital, has stayed at her bedside as her younger brother was confirmed uninjured.
• A family GoFundMe has raised more than $900,000 for medical care and counseling, as the community continues to support victims of a shooting that killed two students and injured 21 people; police say the shooter died by suicide.
