Senator Zaynab Mohamed Statement on Annunciation School Shooting

ST. PAUL, Minn. — Senator Zaynab Mohamed (DFL-Minneapolis) issues the following statement:

“Our beautiful Southside was struck with horrifying gun violence this morning at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis. Active recovery efforts are continuing for the victims, and authorities have informed us there is no further threat to the public. I am grateful for the response by law enforcement and EMTs to save the lives of victims.

I am absolutely devastated for our community. My heart is with the parishioners of the church, and the Annunciation students and their families. I know some of them personally, and will make myself available to all of them to support them in any way possible.

This is another tragedy in what has already been a painful period for our state and community. We must all condemn gun violence, and come together to work on real solutions to prevent future tragedy.”
