SaralnamaOn 27 Aug 2025, a shooting occurred at Annunciation Catholic School church in Minneapolis during morning Mass. Two children aged 8 and 10 were killed, and 17 others, including children and elderly parishioners, were injured. The shooter fired through locked church windows after failing to enter because the doors were locked. Police said the locked doors likely saved countless lives. The suspect, 23-year-old Robin Westman, died by suicide at the scene. The attack happened just before 8 a.m. during the first week of school. Police continue to investigate the motive. Pope Leo XIV expressed sorrow and prayers for the victims. The FBI is treating the case as domestic terrorism and a hate crime targeting Catholics. (Updated 28 Aug 2025, 22:12 IST; source: link)
