Statement from Commissioner Lesley Briones on the Minneapolis Catholic School Shooting

Commissioner Lesley Briones “My heart is with the families who lost children and whose children were injured in the horrific shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis. As a mother of three, I cannot fathom the intense pain these families are experiencing. As a lifelong Catholic, I am devastated that someone would target children during a back-to-school mass—a sacred time of prayer and community. I pray for these families, and I pray for action from our lawmakers. These tragedies must stop. We must keep our children safe.”
