The Minneapolis school shooting last week took lives and forever changed many families. Among the most critically injured is 12-year-old Sophia Forchas who remains in intensive care after being shot. Two children, Fletcher Merkel and Harper Moyski, tragically died, while 21 others suffered injuries.
Sophia, known for her bright spirit, was rushed to surgery and is currently in a fragile state. Her younger brother Anthony was present and witnessed the attack but escaped physical harm. The mental scars for him remain immense.
Adding to the family’s grief, Sophia’s mother is a Pediatric Critical Care nurse who was on duty during the tragedy. The parents stay devoted to supporting each child through recovery and trauma. A GoFundMe has been launched to assist with mounting medical and emotional costs.
The family’s plea for prayer and hope has reached political leaders and rallied community support, underscoring the profound impact of gun violence on innocent lives.
