"We cannot even make it through the first week of school without mass shootings. And the @GOP will continue to do absolutely nothing while our kids are being gunned down. This is sick."
"These were Minneapolis families, Frey said. 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."
"I have been fully briefed on the tragic shooting in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The FBI quickly responded and they are on the scene. The White House will continue to monitor this terrible situation. Please join me in praying for everyone involved!"
A mass shooting at a Catholic school in Minneapolis killed at least two young children and injured multiple others during the first week of school. Political leaders reacted with shock, anger, and calls for both action and prayer. California Governor Gavin Newsom condemned the Republican Party for inaction on gun violence and called the situation "sick." Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey emphasized the victims were local and American families, rejected mere "thoughts and prayers," and stressed that children were praying in a church and deserved safety. The FBI and federal officials responded and the White House said it would monitor the situation.
