Auxiliary Bishop Kevin Kenneyt’s remarks to KSTP 5 News:
“Horrific. Unbelievable that this could happen. It’s very sad for the community. It’s very sad for the families that have lost loved ones.
“I’ve talked to a few [parents] whose children are in surgery. They’re panicking, of course. They’re in shock. They’re worried.
“It was the opening school Mass, is my understanding. It’s a horrible, horrific way for all the students to begin the school year.”
