Church shooting in Minnesota

Published
A 12-year-old girl shot in the head during the August Catholic school shooting in Minnesota has been released from the hospital … and she and her father are beaming in the first photos taken.
Sophia Forchas left the Hennepin County Medical Center in Minneapolis this week, nearly two months after the Aug. 27 shooting that left two dead and countless others injured… wearing her pajamas and grinning for the cameras as she climbed into a white limousine — the only ride fit for someone with such a miraculous recovery.
Her dad is clearly overjoyed in the photo… bursting out laughing as he stands next to his little girl.
Sophia’s parents Amy And Tom announced the happy news of her return to GoFundMe yesterday… just a few days before Sophia becomes a teenager.

Sophia still has a long road to recovery — lots of outpatient therapy, still to be done — but her parents say they’re just happy she can walk, swim and even dribble a basketball.
If you’re not aware, Forchas was shot in the head in August… and doctors initially didn’t expect her to survive. In September, her parents said even her survival was miraculous.
Robin Westman shot through the windows of Annunciation Catholic School… wreak havoc before dying of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The shooting left two children dead, one eight and the other just ten years old.
In the aftermath, a video surfaced from Westman, showing Robin buying a gun at a store just days before the shooting… although it doesn’t appear Robin used the gun in the attack.
