Endre Gunter Shot During Minneapolis Church Massacre at Annunciation Catholic School

On the morning of August 27, 2025, tragedy struck at the Annunciation Catholic School and Church in Minneapolis, Minnesota, when 23-year-old Robin Westman opened fire on a group of children gathered for a school-year prayer service. Among the seriously injured was 13-year-old Endre Gunter, who was shot in the stomach while praying with his classmates inside the church sanctuary.

According to statements from his mother, Danielle Gunter, Endre was swiftly aided by first responders. One officer reportedly prayed with the wounded child before he was transported for emergency surgery. Gunter survived the procedure and is now beginning what his family describes as a long road toward physical and emotional recovery. His parents emphasized the strength and faith he demonstrated during and after the attack, with his first request to the surgical team being a prayer. The Gunter family has asked for continued prayers and support as their son begins the difficult process of healing and rebuilding.
