The Democratic National Committee (DNC) abruptly ended its summer meeting in Minneapolis on Wednesday, after news broke of a mass shooting at Annunciation Catholic School, located a short distance from the gathering.
DNC Chair Ken Martin acknowledged the attack, which occurred outside the church during the school’s weekly Mass. He told members the tragedy had left about 20 victims, most of them children. Police and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey later confirmed in a press conference that 19 people had been shot.
