Update 1: (Sorry, no photos, DM sucks ass.)

At least 20 people are feared to have been gunned down after an active shooter stormed a Catholic church in Minneapolis as the parish school was holding its start-of-year mass.

The shooter stormed Annunciation Catholic Church on 54th Street around 8:30am local time. A Catholic grade school is connected to the church.

Multiple children have been taken to a nearby hospital, law enforcement sources told KARE. It is unclear how exactly how many children have been hurt.

AP says 5 kids are being treated at the hospital. The DOJ told Reuters that three people including the shooter are dead.
 
Shooting Christian children right before death sounds like it’s gonna make for a fun judgement.

It would be better for him if a millstone were hung round his neck and he were cast into the sea, than that he should cause one of these little ones to sin.

Luke 17:2

Sort of the opposite of Pascal’s Gambit.

Really? Are parochial schools so desperate that they don't at least make the all of the students sit respectfully for mass. afaik it's mandatory where I'm at.

It depends on how strict the Pastor is. I lived in areas where a few Jewish families sent their kids to one school and they’d either show up after or whatever. It was offered not imposed for them to go to mass, even if by some perspectives they were imposing themselves.

Another school that had a few just had them sit in the back pew and read a book or whatever.
 
I'm getting my guess in now - Basque Separatist, likely an ex-member of the ETA who still holds a grudge against the city that Prince was from.

reports are the psycho sprayed bullets outside and towards the building, shattering stained glass windows. Lots of people were inside seated. Being early or on time for mass this morning saved their lives. It sounds like the ppl shot were outside.

It’s common to have the priest, volunteer clergy or teachers/school staff at the doors greeting ppl as they enter and officially closing the doors for the start of mass. He might have been specifically targeting them knowing they’d be at the doors.

At the risk of power leveling I have attended Catholic Churches where the ushers (the people at the door) were armed. It’s largely up to the priest who runs the church to make that determination. Although since this is in a school zone in Minnesota it’s likely they can’t legally carry there.

It's totally dependent on the pastor and the school and what it "really" is - many Catholic schools are just that, schools for Catholic kids, if you as a non-Catholic want to send your kids fine, but they have to at least attend Mass and do the classes (but not the sacraments).

Others are basically "Catholic" as a name and are really rich prep schools with majority non-Catholic and ain't nobody forced to do nothing, because they need the Big Bucks.

Here’s what we know so far:
  • Hennepin Healthcare press briefing expected at 11 a.m.

She was on her way to the nursing home across the street from the church when she saw “dozens” of law enforcement vehicles rush past. “I’m very brokenhearted. I’m so sick and tired of this.

“He just pepper-sprayed through the stained-glass windows into the building, 50 to 100 shots,” said the parent, who did not want his name used. “He killed two kids.”
“This is terrible,” he said. ”This is evil. I don’t know how you defend against this.”

from what i understand this is the second shooting of a Catholic school in under 12 hours? is it actually the somalis?
 
It's become hard to not let stuff like this get to me. I suppose it's better to be cautious when going to events and in large crowds than not. It could pay off one day.

That one sounds like it happened outside of the school and it wasn't a target. Suspect is still on the loose. I think it was unrelated hood shit.

Alright, let's take bets:
1. Nigger - Minneapolis, so could be a fat nigga or a Somali nigga. Kill count reflects this perhaps.
2. White guy - Low kill count, but very possible. Reddit user mad about church?
3. Troon - "DIE SKY DADDY!"
4. Sand Nigger.
5. Indian man - Funny, but I doubt it. Indian people don't have the wrist strength to operate a gun.
6. Other/Etc.
