Another tragic shooting has struck my hometown of Minneapolis. On the first week of school at Annunciation Catholic School (K–8), an armed gunman opened fire during morning Mass, killing two children ages 8 and 10 and injuring 17 others. I’ll share what we know and, more importantly, what steps we should all be taking.

What You Will Learn:

• Why patterns from past mass shootings (like Columbine and Virginia Tech) still shape the tactics of attackers today.
• How faith organizations and schools can recognize vulnerabilities and strengthen their security posture.
• The critical importance of finding “middle ground” between different perspectives on firearms — with the shared goal of protecting children and communities.
