RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) -- The tragedy in Minneapolis now shines a light on school safety practices in the Triangle.

At least two children are dead, and more than a dozen are injured after a shooter fired shots through the windows of a church at the Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis on Wednesday morning.

Local Catholic community reacts

Jaclyn Pine has a daughter at the Cathedral School at the Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Raleigh. She almost picked her daughter up from school on Wednesday after hearing about the shooting in Minneapolis.

"I was two seconds away from waking up my daughter from her nap and coming down here. It's nerve-racking," she said. "Everybody is in their first week of school. It's the first week of school. It should've never happened."
