() The mother of a student shot and injured in Wednesday’s deadly attack on a Catholic school and church in Minneapolis was working at a nearby hospital when her daughter was brought in, according to a GoFundMe page.

According to the page, 12-year-old Sophia Forchas was shot during the attack on Annunciation Church. Her mother, a pediatric critical care nurse at a nearby hospital, “arrived at work to help during the tragedy, before knowing it was her children’s school that was attacked, and that her daughter was critically injured.”

The page notes that Forchas, who is in the seventh grade, is currently in critical condition in the ICU after emergency surgery was carried out to stabilize her.

“Her road ahead will be long, uncertain, and incredibly difficult but she is strong, and she is not alone,” the page states.

The girl’s younger brother was inside the school when the shooting took place and was not injured.

More than $220,000 has been donated to the page to help the family navigate the financial strain of ongoing ICU care, future surgeries, trauma counseling, lost income and more.

The two children killed in the attack were ages 8 and 10. Fifteen of those injured were also children, police said. All of the injured are expected to survive. 

Police identified the shooter as Robin Westman and said the weapons used in the shooting were recently purchased and legal. According to the Department of Homeland Security, magazines for the weapons had sayings including “Kill Donald Trump” written on them.

According to police, the shooter approached Annunciation Church around 8 a.m. CT and began shooting into the building where a Mass marking the start of school was taking place. The motive for the shooting is still under investigation.
