Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara Detailed the Gun Man’s Terrible Action of Violence As he approached the Church and began to “shoot a rifle through the church windows against the children sitting in the teeth.
“Shooting through the windows he beat children and worshipers who were inside the building,” said O’Hara. “The shooter was armed with a rifle, a shotgun and a gun. This was a deliberate act of violence against innocent children and other people worshiping. The pure cruelty and cowardice of shooting into a church full of children is absolutely incomprehensible.”
The shooter is dead, probably by a self -inflicted gunshot wound.
