The condition of the last victim of the Annunciation Catholic Church shooting to remain hospitalized has improved after two weeks.
Sophia Forchas, 12, has improved from critical condition to serious condition as of Thursday morning, according to the Hennepin County Medical Center in Minneapolis. Serious condition, as defined by HCMC , means the patient is acutely ill and there is a chance for improved prognosis.
Sophia is the last of the 21 people, most of them children, who were injured in the Aug. 27 shooting to still be under hospital care. Two children — 8-year-old Fletcher Merkel and 10-year-old Harper Moyski — were killed as Annunciation Church and its affiliated school held a back-to-school Mass.
The shooter died by suicide, police said, and no motive has been publicly identified
