Retired Minister Offers Advice to Communities Who Are Left to Heal After Mass Shootings

Seventeen people were injured and two children killed in a mass shooting at a Minneapolis school during a church service, prompting calls for debate on gun control and safety measures.

  • Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis was shot into during Mass on Wednesday, killing two children aged 8 and 10 and injuring 17 others, police said the attacker used a rifle, shotgun and pistol.
  • On Wednesday, Gowdy told viewers mass shootings are "almost always" committed by young white males, while offering solace that victims are now with Jesus.
  • A video posted under the name Robin Westman showing handwritten pages, bullets and weapons was deleted; Brandon Herrera condemned the attack and coordinated with law enforcement, while NSSF said the murderer was not a registered SHOT Show attendee.
  • Critics reacted angrily to Gowdy's remarks as progressives and liberals condemned his tone and attribution, while he urged policymakers to discuss protecting soft targets like churches and schools.
  • According to national counts, the U.S. has recorded 286 mass shootings and 9,821 deaths with 17,930 injuries this year, yet analysts and data sets do not support the claim that mass shootings are always by young white males.
