2 children, aged 8 and 10, were killed in a shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, USA during morning Mass. Police said 17 others, including 14 children, were injured when the attacker, 23-year-old Robin Westman, fired through church windows with multiple guns. Westman later died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The FBI is investigating the case as domestic terrorism and a hate crime targeting Catholics. Authorities confirmed the weapons were legally bought but gave no details on permits. President Trump ordered US flags flown at half-mast. City leaders called the act “evil” and urged stronger action against gun violence. (PC: BBC)
