Authorities were responding Wednesday to reports of an active shooter at a Minneapolis Catholic school and church.
The shooting occurred at Annunciation Church, which also houses a school, and law enforcement officers were on the scene, according to Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.
"I'm praying for our kids and teachers whose first week of school was marred by this horrific act of violence," Walz said.
The shooter was "contained," according to an update from the City of Minneapolis on social media.
"There is no active threat to the community at this time," Minneapolis Police Department said in an update.
I've been briefed on a shooting at Annunciation Catholic School and will continue to provide updates as we get more information. The BCA and State Patrol are on scene.I'm praying for our kids and teachers whose first week of school was marred by this horrific act of violence.

Local media outlets reported the shooting started at about 8:30 a.m. There were multiple victims, according to outlets KARE 11 and KNSI. It is not immediately clear whether there were any fatalities.
Minneapolis Police Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the reports by USA TODAY.
"I'm monitoring reports of horrific violence in South Minneapolis. I'm in touch with Chief O'Hara and our emergency response team has been activated. We will share more information as soon as we can. Please give our officers the space they need to respond to the situation," Mayor Jacob Frey said in a post to social media.
The shooting comes within 24 hours of at least three other fatal shooting incidents in Minneapolis, including a mass shooting Tuesday afternoon in which one person died and six were injured when a gunman opened fire in broad daylight at people standing on a sidewalk.
Two other people were killed in two other shootings in the last day, according to the Minneapolis Police Department. Police said it was unclear whether the last three shootings were related.
"The level of gun violence across the city within the last day is deeply unsettling," Chief Brian O'Hara said in a statement after the third reported shooting early the morning of Aug. 27.
