The Minnesota Vikings and Minnesota Twins offered prayers to those affected by a deadly shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minnesota.
A gunman killed at least two children and injured 17 other individuals after opening fire into the windows of Annunciation Catholic Church in Minneapolis. The shooting reportedly occurred during an all-school mass Wednesday. The gunman died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, officials said.
Hours after the shooting, the Twins released a statement, calling for a "future where such violence no longer shatters lives."
