## Transcript

There are no words that can capture the horror and the evil of this unspeakable act. Children are dead. Their families that have a deceased child. You cannot put into words the gravity, the tragedy or the absolute pain of this situation. We are a Minneapolis family, but to everybody out there, do not think of these as just somebody else's kids. Those families are suffering immense pain right now. Think of this as if it were your own. Every one of us needs to be wrapping our arms around these families, giving them every ounce that we can muster. These were Minneapolis families. These were American families and the amount of pain that they are suffering right now is extraordinary.

And 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 earlier today. Just before 8:30 a.m., our city experienced an unthinkable tragedy. Minneapolis police officers responded to a report of a shooting at a mass that was happening at the Annunciation Roman Catholic Church, on the block behind me. This worship service was marking the first week of school for children that are attending the Annunciation Catholic School. During the mass, a gunman approached on the outside on the side of the building and began firing a rifle through the church windows towards the children sitting in the pews at the mass, shooting through the windows, he struck children and worshippers that were inside the building.

The shooter was armed with a rifle, a shotgun and a pistol. This was a deliberate act of violence against innocent children and other people, worshiping the sheer cruelty and cowardice of firing into a church full of children is absolutely incomprehensible. Police officers from the Minneapolis Police Department immediately responded, entered the church, and attempted to provide first aid and rescue some of the children that were hiding throughout the building, while other first responders came, and EMS responded to rush victims to nearby hospitals. Two young children, ages eight and ten, were killed where they sat in the pews.

Their parents have been notified. 17 other people were injured. 14 of them being children. Two of those children are in critical condition. The coward who fired the shots ultimately took his own life in the rear of the church. Our hearts are broken for the families who have lost their their children. For these young lives that are now fighting to recover, and for our entire community that has been so deeply traumatized by this senseless attack, we believe it is one suspect, a sole shooter. We believe he is deceased. He is in his early 20s. Uh, does not have an extensive known criminal history.

Um, and we are looking through information left behind to try and determine some type of motive.
