A 12-year-old girl shot in the head during the deadly shooting at a Catholic church in Minneapolis is making "miraculous" progress, her family announced.
Sophia Forchas, who survived the attack at Annunciation Catholic Church, is "showing promising signs of neurological recovery" and will be transitioned from acute care to an inpatient rehabilitation program, her family said in a statement released by Hennepin Healthcare Sept. 22.
"Sophia is strong, brave, and unwavering in her fight toward healing," her family said. "We ask that you continue to pray for her as she walks this road to recovery."
Sophia's younger brother was also at the school, but he was unharmed, according to a GoFundMe organized for the family. Her mother, a pediatric critical care nurse at Hennepin County Medical Center, had arrived to work Aug. 27 to help with the wounded "before knowing it was her children's school that was attacked, and that her daughter was critically injured," the page said.
The GoFundMe has raised more than $1 million.
