Dear neighbor,
I am writing to share some horrific news. Our entire community is mourning right now.
Yesterday, there was a shooting that killed one person and injured 7 others at 29th and Clinton Ave South near Cristo Rey Jesuit High School. If anyone has any information, please come forward or send tips anonymously at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
Unfortunately, this morning, before 8:30AM, there was another mass shooting. This was at Annunciation Catholic School/ Church (509 W. 54th St.). The shooter killed two kids who were the ages of 8 and 10 and injured 17 others (14 of whom were children and two in critical condition). The shooter was armed with a rifle, shotgun and pistol.
The city is continuing to ask the public to avoid the area of W. 54th Street from Lyndale to Nicollet Ave. to allow emergency personnel to help victims. There is no active threat to the community at this time. The shooter is deceased.
These weapons and acts of violence have no place in Minneapolis or anywhere. My heart goes out to all the children, families, educators and community members who were heavily impacted by this. I’m committed to coming together with all levels of government to address this. The lives of our future generations depend on it.
With love and sadness,
Jason |
