A shooting at an Annunciation Catholic Church in Minneapolis left two children dead and several others injured. The shooter, a 23-year-old who legally obtained the weapons, fired through a stained-glass window. Democratic leaders renewed calls for stricter gun control, criticizing the lack of action from Republican counterparts in Congress. The incident follows another recent tragedy in Minnesota, the assassination of a former state representative and her husband, further fueling calls for change. While the 2022 bipartisan gun safety law provided some measures, Democrats argue more action is urgently needed to address gun violence and prevent future tragedies.
