Here's what we know about the Minneapolis Catholic school shooting victims
The shooting at Annunciation Catholic Church on Wednesday killed two young children and injured 18 other kids and three adults.
It happened during a Mass packed with young students during school hours. Police said the shooter fired a rifle from the outside of the church through the windows toward children and worshippers.
As of Monday afternoon, five people injured are still being treated at the hospital. Hennepin Healthcare officials said one child they're treating is in critical condition, and two children and one adult are in satisfactory condition. Children's Minnesota is still treating one child, although details about their condition are unknown.
Here's what else we know about the victims so far.
Fletcher Merkel, 8
Fletcher Merkel, 8, was one of the children killed in the shooting, according to his father.
The Merkel family said Fletcher Merkel loved his family, friends, fishing, cooking and playing sports.
"Moving forward, we ask not for your sympathy, but your empathy as our family and the Annunciation community grieve and try to make sense of such a senseless act of violence," the family said in a statement. "Please remember Fletcher for the person he was and not the act that ended his life. Give your kids an extra hug and kiss today. We love you. Fletcher, you'll always be with us."
The family plans to start a scholarship in Fletcher Merkel's name at a later time.
Harper Moyski, 10
The family of 10-year-old Harper Moyski said she was the other child killed in Wednesday's mass shooting.
Her parents, Michael Moyski and Jackie Flavin, said in a joint statement that they and Harper Moyski's sister are "grieving an unimaginable loss."
"Harper's light will always shine through us, and we hope her memory inspires others to work toward a safer, more compassionate world," the statement said.
Harper Moyski's family added that they hope her memory "fuels action," and is urging leaders and communities to take steps to address gun violence and mental health.
Sophia Forchas, 12
Twelve-year-old Sophia Forchas is in critical condition after she was shot on Wednesday morning, according to a confirmed online fundraiser organized by her family.
Forchas was in her first week as a seventh-grade student at Annunciation when the attack happened.
Her mother is a pediatric critical care nurse and was helping with the incident at Hennepin Healthcare before knowing it was her children's school that was attacked, according to the fundraiser. Forchas' younger brother was present during the attack but was not injured.
As of Friday afternoon, the fundraiser for her has raised over $561,000.

Gunter's family said on Friday that he is doing OK and "getting better physically" following surgery, though he's worried about his classmates.
Gunter was said to look at the surgeon and request that they pray with him.
Victor, age not disclosed
Victor and his sister were injured in Wednesday's incident, according to a confirmed online fundraiser organized by Victor's uncle, Mike Kelly.
"Victor is one of the brave victims who survived the tragedy that unfolded. His selfless acts help to save many, but he and his sister were injured in the process," the fundraiser said.
He was hospitalized but has since been released and is recovering with his family.
Portions of this fundraiser will be sent to a nonprofit working to support those injured, according to a written update on Friday.
Lydia Kaiser, age not disclosed
Lydia Kaiser was injured "while protecting her little 'buddy,'" according to an online fundraiser. She has since undergone surgery and was in serious condition.
Her family said in a written statement that she was released from the hospital on Sept. 6.
"After more than a week of thousands of prayers, surgery and constant care from extraordinary medical staff, Lydia returned yesterday afternoon," the statement, released on Sept. 7, said. "She is strong and in good spirits. She has one more surgery later this month. Please continue to keep her in your prayers."
Her father, Harry Kaiser, is Annunciation's gym teacher. The fundrasier said he helped secure the room and was with the children until they were reunited with their families.
Vivian St. Clair, 9
Nine-year-old Vivian St. Clair was shot "multiple times in her back and arm," according to an online fundraiser organized for her.
She ran from the church to the school gym where a police officer found her and brought her to an ambulance.
St. Clair was taken to Hennepin Healthcare where her mother, Malia, works, the fundraiser said. She has several bullet fragments that health officials "do not intend to remove."
According to the fundraiser, money raised for St. Clair will go toward medical care, recovery, therapy, family support, lost wages and resources to help her "regain her childhood."
Genevieve Bisek, 11
Genevieve Bisek, 11, was shot in the neck during the attack, according to an online fundraiser.
Carolyn Benz is the organizer of the fundraiser. She said Bisek had been in the ICU, but was released on Sunday.
Bisek's older sister was in the church during the shooting, though she wasn't injured.
"The love that has surrounded the Bisek family these past few days has been overwhelming in the most beautiful way," Benz said on Sunday. "From the blue and green ribbons lining the trees throughout our community to the thoughtful gifts, messages and generous donations, we feel truly blessed by your support during this difficult time."
David Haeg, age not disclosed
According to an online fundraiser, Haeg was injured in the shooting and has since undergone surgery.
Organizers of the fundraiser said on Thursday that he would be in the pediatric ICU for at least five days.
Weston Halsne, 10
Ten-year-old Weston Halsne spoke with WCCO hours after the shooting.
Halsne said his friend saved his life after he laid over him as a human shield. Since that interview, doctors discovered a bullet fragment lodged in his neck, dangerously close to an artery. According to a state lawmaker who coaches Halsne in basketball, he will need surgery to get it removed.
Halsne told WCCO he was two seats away from the church's stained-glass windows when the shooter fired through. He said he felt something like "gunpowder on his neck."
WCCO is working to identify the 8 other children and three adults who were injured. Officials said all three adults are in their 80s.
