In Minneapolis, a gunman opened fire on children praying inside Annunciation Church, killing 2 and injuring 18. Officials said the attacker, 23-year-old Robin Westman, was “obsessed with killing children” and left hate-filled writings on weapons. Victims were identified as 8-year-old Fletcher Merkel and 10-year-old Harper Moyski. Families remembered them as joyful and loving. Police said the suspect had no known mental health treatment and used legally purchased guns. FBI called it domestic terrorism. Witnesses described children running out, bleeding and begging for help. The attacker died from a self-inflicted shot. Officials urged action against assault weapons. (PC: BBC)
