Speaker 0: 'it's it's like somebody put the constitution up on a wall and and shot the First Amendment,' noting portentous signs and mentioning Mary, his partner. Speaker 1 recalls 'the health care CEO get shot. The two people in Minnesota,' calling them assassinations and saying, 'the First Amendment got shot today.' They reference Butler as 'a game of inches' and that 'the country dodged a bullet' before. The slain was 'a friend' and 'a supporter of Microworks' who 'called me a couple of times' and who was 'pushing a boulder up a hill.' Online backlash is acknowledged; condolences to 'his wife Erica and their kids' are offered, with belief that 'he'll be remembered for a long time.' 'He had a future ahead of him. He was only 31 years old.' 'Four years from now, he could have run for president.' He faced 'lion's den'; fearless; he did it anyway.

Earlier today, just before 08:30AM, our city experienced an unthinkable tragedy. Minneapolis police officers responded to a report of a shooting at a mass that was happening at the Annunciation Roman Catholic Church on the block behind me. During the mass, a gunman approached on the outside on the side of the building and began firing a rifle through the church windows towards the children sitting in the pews at the mass. The shooter was armed with a rifle, a shotgun, and a pistol. This was a deliberate act of violence against innocent children and other people worshiping. Two young children, ages eight and 10, were killed where they sat in the pews. 17 other people were injured, 14 of them being children. We will stand together to protect our children, our schools, and our houses of worship.

The gunman used 'three guns, multiple guns.' A child had to tell 'one of her friend's dads that the friend had been shot.' There will be stories of heroism and faith, but 'there are also adults that were shot.' The discussion acknowledges 'thoughts and prayers' are not enough: 'these kids were literally praying' and 'what can we do better with background checks or with assault weapons.' They mention 'a bipartisan bill for community violence' and 'my provision on domestic violence' to keep gun access from those convicted, plus 'national standards.'

The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension expressed sympathies to the families and communities affected by the shootings of political leaders.

Gunfire was exchanged, and the individual escaped. Senator Hoffman and his wife received surgeries for gunshot wounds and are alive, with officials cautiously optimistic about their improvement.

She emphasized that everyone in Albuquerque and New Mexico are neighbors, and such incidents must not recur.

I witnessed a shooting at a rally where a man was killed and a woman injured. The shots seemed to come from behind the bleachers, hitting the man in the head and grazing the former president's ear.
