Minneapolis nurse’s worst nightmare: ICU mom discovers her own daughter among wounded children in church shooting
What began as an ordinary morning shift for Minneapolis pediatric nurse Amy Forchas turned into every parent’s worst nightmare when she realized her hospital was treating victims from a mass shooting at her own children’s school.
Amy had rushed to Hennepin Healthcare early Wednesday as ambulances began arriving from Annunciation Catholic School and Church, where a gunman barricaded the doors before firing 50 to 100 shots through the church’s stained-glass windows. Among the critically injured was her 12-year-old daughter, Sophia, who was rushed into emergency surgery as her mother worked nearby in the ICU.
“Her mother arrived at work to help during the tragedy, before knowing it was her children’s school that was attacked, and that her daughter was critically injured,” a family friend wrote in a fundraiser.
