Sources confirmed for KARE 11's Lou Raguse that there is an active shooter situation unfolding at the church. The source says initial information indicates that there is a significant number of victims, and some of them are children.

2. City alert just went out saying the shooter is "contained" and to avoid the area.

4. Lord have mercy.

Every. damn. day.
I am so sick and tired of this happening every single day.

It's madness. Complete and utter madness. And absolutely nothing is ever done about it because the second amendment is the only amendment that matters. Period.

What a way to live.

7. Me too

[GusBob]

8. Unfortunately my first thought too

Should be thinking of the victims and first responders first

But yeah, Trump is gonna make political hay with their pain. Especially on top of the last 24 hrs in MSP and who the Gov of the state is

Can we expect the National Guard in MSP? Probably Could they prevent such an incident as this? Nope

18. Yeah--only an 34-time adjudicated felon and wholesale...

...criminal scumbag can control the nation's crime problem. Yeah, that's the ticket!

P.S. And let's not forget the charity fraud. IIRC, Trump and his kids all participated in that.

19. Two kids.

O’Hara added: “During the Mass, a gunman approached the building on the outside and began firing a rifle …shooting through the windows, he struck children and worshippers that were inside the building. The shooter was armed with a rifle, a shotgun and a pistol.”

He continued: “Two young children, ages eight and 10, were killed where they sat in the pews. Their parents have been notified.”

-- Minneapolis Chief of Police Brian O'Hara

13. It's starting to sound like the shooter was outside the church and bullets went through windows during all-school mass.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

14. Local news reporting 20 injured, 10 are in critical condition, 2 dead, plus shooter.

[berniesandersmittens]

17. Reported at least two children are dead

15. More "thoughts and prayers" from the Republicans?

Instead of actually doing something.

16. Press conference soon nt

[WhiskeyGrinder]

20. Two kids dead, shooter dead, several kids in critical condition. Shot from outside the church.

[berniesandersmittens]

21. Did you hear the speaker

Who said something on the lines of "it's not about prayer, these kids were at church".

Powerful

22. That was Mayor Jacob Frey, of whom I am not a fan, but that was a good line.
