Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara confirmed earlier in the day that the shooter was believed to be a man in his twenties.
“This was a deliberate act of violence against innocent children and other people worshiping,” O’Hara told reporters.
He added, ”The sheer cruelty and cowardice of firing into a church full of children is absolutely incomprehensible.”
No other information about the alleged perpetrator was immediately confirmed.
In 2023, a woman who identified as transgender slaughtered children and teachers inside the Covenant School in Nashville, Tennessee.
Police were reluctant to release information about Audrey Elizabeth Hale, who at the time was using the more masculine name Aiden.
