WCCO Radio News has confirmed that 41 middle school students from Robbinsdale were in the Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington DC today during the shooting involving an apparent white supremacist and a security guard. The 41 8th graders and four chaperones were not injured, nor did they see or hear the shooting. Shelly Phernetton, one of the chaperones, tells WCCO Radio News that everyone remained calm.
