Our View: Words Matter in Moments of Unfathomable Tragedy
Minneapolis officials urge assault weapons ban following a mass shooting that killed two children and wounded 18 others, amid calls for bipartisan gun control measures.
- On Wednesday, authorities said two children were killed when a gunman opened fire through stained-glass windows during Mass at Annunciation Catholic Church and affiliated school, Minneapolis, Minnesota.
- Law enforcement identified the suspect as Robin Westman, legally born Robert Westman, who changed names and was driven by hatred and a fascination with U.S. mass shootings.
- Investigators said they are reviewing hundreds of evidence pieces with the FBI and Minneapolis police, recovering 116 rifle rounds and three shotgun shells, noting the shooter had no criminal history or gun purchase restrictions Thursday.
- National Democrats and commentators replied that 'thoughts and prayers' were insufficient after the shooting, while the FBI classified the attack as domestic terrorism and an anti-Catholic hate crime.
- The attack sharpened a national debate as Democrats and gun-control advocates rallied in Minneapolis, citing 286 mass shootings this year and urging state and federal action.
