Edina Shooting Today – Authorities Have Yet to Verify Reports of Gunfire at Local Church
EDINA, MINNESOTA — A report circulating Wednesday, September 23, 2026, claims that police were investigating a possible shooting at Our Lady of Grace in Edina, Minnesota.
However, the reported incident has not been independently confirmed by the Edina Police Department or another authoritative public-safety agency in the information reviewed for this report.
Because of that, details involving possible victims, injuries, suspects, arrests or the circumstances surrounding the reported incident remain unverified.
Shooting Reportedly Reported at Our Lady of Grace
The circulating report identifies Our Lady of Grace on Eden Avenue as the location associated with the alleged incident.
The Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis lists Our Lady of Grace at 5071 Eden Ave., Edina, Minnesota 55436. The parish includes a church and school community serving the area.
At publication time, there is no verified public information establishing that a shooting occurred at the property on September 23.
Edina Police Information Does Not Confirm the Report
The Edina Police Department's current public information page lists the department's latest news items, including information about the investigation into the July 22 shooting at Yancey Park. It does not publicly identify a confirmed September 23 shooting at Our Lady of Grace in the information reviewed.
The city's crime-reporting resources also provide weekly incident information and a crime map, although the city's crime map data is delayed by 24 hours.
That means the absence of a current public listing should not by itself be interpreted as proof that no police response occurred.
No Confirmed Injuries or Suspect
There is currently no independently confirmed information identifying a shooting victim at Our Lady of Grace.
Likewise, no verified public information reviewed for this report identifies:
- A confirmed injured person
- A confirmed fatality
- A suspect
- An arrest
- A motive
- A confirmed police incident at the church
Claims circulating online should therefore be treated cautiously until authorities provide additional information.
Separate Yancey Park Shooting Remains Under Investigation
Edina officials have publicly confirmed a separate shooting at Yancey Park on July 22, 2026.
According to the City of Edina, police responded around 9 p.m. to reports of shots fired. The shooter had already left when officers arrived, no injuries were reported, and gunfire struck a nearby home. In September, the Edina First Responders Fund announced a $5,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and charging in that case.
That confirmed investigation is separate from the unverified September 23 report involving Our Lady of Grace.
What Residents Should Know
Residents near Our Lady of Grace should follow instructions issued directly by law enforcement, school officials or parish representatives if an official emergency notification is released.
Anyone with firsthand information about a possible emergency should contact authorities rather than relying solely on social-media posts or circulating reports.
The public should also avoid sharing unverified claims about victims, suspects or injuries while authorities have not established the facts.

Verification Remains Important

At the time of publication, the official information reviewed does not establish that a shooting occurred at Our Lady of Grace on September 23.
This report may be updated if authorities subsequently confirm the incident and release information about what happened, whether anyone was injured and whether a suspect has been identified.
Readers should rely on confirmed information from law enforcement and other responsible authorities before sharing claims about victims, suspects or injuries.
