Two young children were killed and 17 others were injured in a shooting during a Catholic Mass packed with young students in south Minneapolis Wednesday morning. The shooter is also dead.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara said the shooting triggered a massive law enforcement response to Annunciation Catholic Church at West 54th Street between Harriet and Garfield avenues around 8:30 a.m. The church is connected to a school building.

The shooter approached from the outside of the building and fired a rifle through the church windows towards children and worshippers. The shooter also used a shotgun and a pistol that they had legally purchased “recently,” O’Hara said.

    I see this here and in my Google News Feed. I tried to find more discussion on Reddit, but it shows up absolutely nowhere.

    Is this just a normal day in the US, or is Reddit burying it to make the place seem more positive?

      It’s all over my Reddit but I mostly use the hell site for local news, which this is for me. It’s also all over the trans subreddits because the shooter was trans - and Reddit is being the hell site it usually is and half the local threads are locked because of brigading and transphobia. And if I had to guess, locked threads can’t make the front page.
