Another horrific shooting has rocked Minneapolis, this time targeting innocent children and families at a Catholic school. A gunman dressed in black opened fire at Annunciation Church and Catholic School on Wednesday morning. At least 20 people became victims of this senseless violence.
Two people are confirmed dead and four others fight for their lives in critical condition. The shooter brought a rifle and may have planted explosive devices inside the house of worship. This attack happened during the first week of school when kids should feel safe and protected.
This marks the second mass shooting in Minneapolis in just 24 hours. On Tuesday, another gunman with a rifle wounded seven people in a separate attack. The back-to-back violence shows how dangerous Democrat-run cities have become for regular Americans.
Governor Tim Walz and Mayor Jacob Frey quickly posted on social media about the tragedy. But their thoughts and prayers ring hollow when their soft-on-crime policies helped create this mess. Minneapolis has been a disaster zone since the 2020 riots that they failed to stop.
Our brave police officers and federal agents rushed to the scene to contain the threat. These heroes put their lives on the line while politicians play politics with public safety. They deserve our full support, not the defunding that liberals have pushed.
Parents should not have to worry about sending their children to school or church. These are supposed to be sacred, safe spaces in our communities. Instead, families in Minneapolis live in fear because weak leadership refuses to get tough on criminals.
The attack on a Catholic school shows the complete breakdown of law and order in liberal cities. Criminals know there are no consequences for their actions anymore. They target the most innocent among us while politicians make excuses.
America’s children deserve better than this violence and chaos. We need leaders who will stand up to criminals instead of coddling them. Until we restore law and order, more innocent lives will be lost to senseless attacks like this one.
