NEW YORK (AP) — The Minnesota Star Tribune’s coverage of last year’s mass shooting at a Minneapolis Catholic school took the Pulitzer Prize on Monday for breaking news.
Judges praised the “thoroughness and compassion” of the newspaper’s reporting on a scene of carnage in its hometown. Two children were killed and more than a dozen others were injured as shooter opened fire during the school’s first Mass of the academic year. The shooter later was found dead of what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot.
