US EditionThey Were Praying when They Were Struck by Gunfire. These Are the Victims of the Minneapolis Church Shooting
Governor Newsom criticized Republicans for inaction amid a surge of 286 mass shootings this year, emphasizing the urgent need for government measures to curb gun violence.
- On Wednesday, California Governor Gavin Newsom slammed the Republican Party as "sick" and accused them of doing "absolutely nothing" to curb gun violence after a shooting at Annunciation Catholic Church, Minneapolis that killed two children and injured 17 others.
- The suspect approached and fired a rifle through Annunciation Catholic Church windows during students' first Mass, striking worshipers; authorities say Robin Westman died by suicide Wednesday.
- The FBI said investigators are treating the shooting as domestic terrorism and a hate crime targeting Catholics, with agents on scene providing updates.
- Democratic officials including Gavin Newsom and Representative Mary Gay Scanlon urged more government action to prevent mass shootings, arguing prayers alone are insufficient and calling for legislative change, while the Republican National Committee communications director called Newsom a "psychopath" and accused him of politicizing deaths.
- Data show this is part of a wider trend, with at least 286 mass shootings this year, and critics blame U.S. Congress for failing to pass an assault weapons ban, universal background checks, and safe storage laws.
