MNPD spokesman Don Aaron said, “Officers entered the first story of the school, began clearing it, they heard shots coming second level, they immediately went to the gunfire. When the officers got to the second level, they saw a shooter, a female, who was firing. The officers engaged her and she was fatally shot by responding police officers.”
Aaron said the female attacker entered the school through a side entrance.
Mike Bloomberg gun control affiliate Shannon Watts blamed the shooting on the law that allows law-abiding citizens to permitlessly carry a handgun for self-defense.
