It is reported that there are at least 20 victims, including children, and that two people are deceased. 

“When will enough be enough? I am devastated by the news of a mass shooting at Annunciation Church in Minneapolis. No one should have to fear for their lives when attending religious services. This is the first week of school for the community and the Annunciation Catholic school. While we’re still awaiting more information, I am heartbroken that yet another community is affected by a mass shooting. This doesn’t have to be the reality for anyone. There are solutions that legislators should act on now to prevent another tragic day like today.
