Former President Donald Trump expressed his condolences following a tragic shooting at a Catholic school in Minneapolis on Wednesday, August 27, 2025. Trump stated he is "fully briefed" on the situation and is "praying for everyone involved."

The incident, which occurred earlier in the day, has left multiple individuals injured, prompting an immediate response from local authorities and emergency services. Details surrounding the shooter and the motive remain unclear as investigations are underway.

This shooting marks a concerning trend in gun violence affecting educational institutions across the country. Over the past year, there have been increasing calls for stricter gun control measures, especially in light of recent developments in similar situations, such as the recent shooting in Chicago that resulted in significant casualties.

In light of this incident, Trump’s statement resonates with previous reports where he has addressed crime and safety issues. His administration had previously unveiled a crime-fighting bill aimed at tackling violence in urban areas. As the Minneapolis community grapples with this tragedy, further updates are expected as investigations continue. For more on related coverage, check out Trump's recent crime-fighting initiatives.
