JD Vance, Second Lady Visit Annunciation Catholic Church In Minneapolis

  • On Wednesday, Vice President JD Vance and his wife, Usha Vance, stopped by a Catholic parish in Minneapolis to connect with families affected by the recent mass shooting.
  • During the first Mass of the school year, 23-year-old Robin Westman discharged 116 rounds from a rifle, resulting in the deaths of two children and wounding 21 others, including 18 children.
  • Following the attack, bouquets and memorials appeared outside the church, demonstrators called for assault weapon bans, and Archbishop Bernard Hebda welcomed the vice president’s visit despite not being invited.
  • A funeral service honoring Fletcher Merkel, an 8-year-old child who lost his life, is scheduled for Sunday, September 7, at Mount Olivet Lutheran Church, with visitation beginning at 2 p.m. and the service at 4 p.m.; attendees are encouraged to wear bright colors.
  • The visit and reactions underscore persistent community sorrow and demands for change, while the church has yet to provide a timeline for when classes will restart or the reconsecration will take place following the tragedy.
