The United States is plagued by an epidemic of guns, with schools even becoming targets for shooters.
According to a front-page report in the Daily Mail, on Wednesday morning, a "transgender" shooter opened fire during Mass at a Catholic school in Minneapolis, killing two children and injuring 17 people. The shooter later committed suicide, officials said. Police stated that 14 of the injured were children aged between 6 and 15 years old, all of whom are expected to recover. Three adult victims were elderly parishioners over 80 years old, officials said. The incident occurred at Our Lady of the Presentation School, just days after the first day of school on Monday. "My strongest hope is that no state, no community, no school will ever experience such a day," said Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.
The White House said on social media that Trump has ordered flags to be lowered to half-staff at all government buildings until sunset on Sunday "in honor of the victims of senseless acts of violence."
Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara said the shooter - who carried a rifle, shotgun, and handgun - approached the side of the church and fired through the windows at children sitting on the church pews. O'Hara confirmed the shooter was 23-year-old Robin Westman, and added that Westman had no criminal record, and law enforcement believe he acted alone.
