Senate Minneapolis Delegation Statement on Annunciation School Shooting

ST. PAUL, Minn. — The Minneapolis Delegation of the Minnesota State Senate issues the following statement following the shooting at Annunciation Catholic School.

“We are horrified by the depraved act of violence that took place this morning at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis.

No child, teacher, or family should ever face such terror, especially in a place of learning and community. All students should be safe at school so they can learn and grow, not endure violence and trauma.

At this time, law enforcement has indicated there is no ongoing threat to the public, but the pain and trauma of this event will remain with our students, families and neighbors long after today. We are grateful to the first responders, educators, and medical personnel who acted quickly to protect and care for the victims.

We condemn this violence in the strongest terms. We stand with all those grieving, especially the families of the 8- and 10-year-old who lost their life on today and the over 17 people that are injured and recommit ourselves to solutions to address the epidemic of gun violence and keep our children and communities safe.”
