Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey rejected offers of “thoughts and prayers” after two children were killed and 17 others were injured in a shooting at a Catholic school during the first week back after summer vacation.
“Children are dead, there are families that have a deceased child. You cannot put into words the gravity, tragedy or absolute pain of the situation,” Frey said during a press conference Wednesday, not long after a gunman opened fire at Annunciation Catholic School.
