"O'Hara explained the shooter shot through the windows of Annunciation Roman Catholic church in Minneapolis, where students from the nearby Annunciation Catholic School were in attendance. The shooter was armed with a rifle, a shotgun, and a pistol, the chief said. This was a deliberate act of violence against innocent children and other people worshipping, O'Hara said. The sheer cruelty and cowardice of firing into a church full of children is absolutely incomprehensible."
"These were American families. And the amount of pain that they are suffering right now is extraordinary. Don't just say this is about thoughts and prayers right now! These kids were literally praying! It was the first week of school. They were in a Church! These are kids that should be learning with their friends. They should be playing on the playground. They should able to go to school or Church in peace without the fear or risk of violence."
A male shooter in his early 20s with no known criminal history opened fire at Annunciation Roman Catholic Church in Minneapolis during mass attended by students from the nearby Annunciation Catholic School. Two children, ages 8 and 10, were killed and 17 other people were injured, including 14 children; two injured children were in critical condition. The shooter used a rifle, a shotgun and a pistol and fired through church windows before taking his own life in the rear of the building. City leaders rejected mere 'thoughts and prayers,' emphasizing the extraordinary pain facing families and urging protection for children in schools and places of worship.
