Girl With Bullet in Brain from Church Shooting Has 'Miraculous' Recovery

A 12-year-old girl who had a bullet lodged in her brain during the horrific shooting at a Minneapolis Catholic Church this past August has seen a “miraculous” recovery.

As Breitbart News reported in late August, two children were killed and 17 others were wounded during a shooting at Church of the Annunciation in Minneapolis while the students attended Mass. One of the victims, seventh grader Sophia Forchas, survived after a gunshot to the head left her in critical condition. Her family revealed this week that she has been making a strong neurological recovery after being moved to an inpatient rehabilitation program.

“Sophia is strong, brave, and unwavering in her fight toward healing,” the family said in a statement.

“Sophia surviving this horrific attack is a miracle,” the statement added. “Her healing progress is nothing short of miraculous.”

According to the New York Post, neurosurgeon Dr. Walt Galicich told reporters earlier this month “the bullet that was lodged in her brain was in a critical area that left experts wary of removing it, even 10 days after the shooting.”

“Galicich warned that he would have to ‘go through the normal brain’ to get the bullet out, which could cause more damage with a low chance of survival,” it reported. “The surgeons had to remove the left half of Sophia’s skull to relieve the pressure inside her head.”

“Despite the low chances, Sophia managed to make it out of the procedure alive, with her neurological functions slowly returning in recent weeks,” it added.

Sophia has reportedly begun to breathe on her own.

“Though she still has a long journey ahead, filled with extensive therapy, her resilience continues to inspire hope at every step,” the family said. “Sophia is winning! Your Prayers are working.”
