The shooting occurred just before 8:30 a.m.
During the press conference, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey (D) was emotional and said, “This kind of act of evil should never happen.”
Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara said a shooting was reported at Mass at Annunciation Catholic Church. They learned that a gunman “began firing through the church windows towards the children sitting in the pews at the Mass.”
The shooter had a rifle, a shotgun, and a pistol. Two children–ages eight and ten–“were killed where they sat in the pews,” according to O’Hara. Seventeen other individuals were injured.
The alleged gunman then killed himself.
