Truth Analysis
Analysis Summary:
The article contains significant factual errors, particularly regarding the location of the shooting. While it accurately reports the increased police presence, it misidentifies the school where the shooting occurred. The bias is moderate, stemming from the sensationalized description of the event and the focus on fear.
Detailed Analysis:
- Claim: Minneapolis police are increasing patrols around schools and places of worship after this week's deadly shooting at a Catholic school.
- Verification Source #1: Confirms Minneapolis police are stepping up presence around schools and houses of worship after a mass shooting.

- Assessment: Supported
- Claim: Two children were killed when a gun-wielding assailant fired more than 100 bullets through the stained glass window at Annunciation Catholic School.

- Assessment: Potentially inaccurate. While sources confirm a shooting at a Catholic school in Minneapolis, the specific details (number of bullets, stained glass window) and the name of the school (Annunciation Catholic School) require further verification as they are not consistently mentioned across all sources. Other sources do not mention the name of the school.
