An 8 year old and a 10 year old were killed. 14 kids injured and 3 adults. I can't imagine being a kid and their parents that go through this.
 
Someday a mayor in a press conference like this will have the balls to verbally place blame squarely on the NRA, trump, republican legislators, and the Supreme Court.

I thought this guy might approach something like that… but not quite.
Not sure I would do it the day it happened but definitely think an elected official should say it over and over again the days afterwards.
 


“… Police say the shooting happened just before 1:30 p.m. near the intersection of 29th Street East and Clinton Avenue, directly behind Cristo Rey Jesuit High School in the city’s Phillips neighborhood.

“I look down the street and I see somebody standing outside their car, with a big gun just shooting at the crowd,” the witness said. In the video, the sounds of gunfire can clearly be heard, with people fleeing the scene.

… Near the intersection, law enforcement found a man dead from apparent gunshot wounds and another man with potentially life-threatening gunshot wounds.

About one or two blocks away from the shooting, on Lake Street, four injured men and one injured woman were found at various locations. Those five people were brought to the hospital and are expected to survive, according to Minneapolis police.

… Initial reports indicate a suspect stepped out of a vehicle and fired about 30 rounds from a “high-velocity” .223 caliber rifle at a group of people on a sidewalk along Clinton Avenue before getting into a car and fleeing the scene.

Of the seven people who were shot, at least one person was “clearly targeted,” O’Hara said.

O’Hara shared how powerful the firepower was and its impact.

“From the Shotspotter notification, we do not believe this to have been fully automatic, but this was a high velocity .223 rifle, and it’s obvious from the injuries that people suffered here, the significant damage those types of rounds can do to the human body,” O’Hara said. …”
