Minneapolis, Minnesota — Three people, including two child victims and the shooter, are dead after a shooting at a catholic church and school in Minnesota.
The shooting happened at the Annunciation Church and School in south Minneapolis. Police say the shooter, Robin Westman, born as Robert Westman, is dead, likely as the result of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Besides those killed, seventeen others were injured.
The FBI says they are investigating this shooting as an act of domestic terrorism and hate crime targeting Catholics.
President Trump has ordered flags to be flown at half-staff in memory and as a mark of respect for those whose lives were taken.
