The AP swung into action after a shooter opened fire at a Minneapolis Catholic church. Minneapolis-based video journalist Mark Vancleave raced to the scene, quickly establishing a live shot. The first alert moved less than an hour after the gunfire ended, and staffers continuously built out coverage as the horror of what happened at Annunciation Catholic Church and school became clear.
Reporters across the country bolstered strong Minneapolis reporting by Vancleave, Giovanna Dell’Orto and Steve Karnowski. The coverage included sidebars on previous school shootings, a live blog, highlighted photos and a constant stream of edited video and livestreams.
In the days that followed, the team also delivered poignant stories about the victims, their families’ heartbreak, and the heroism shown by students and first responders.
