The Twins have condemned the shooting that took place Wednesday at a Catholic school in Minnesota that killed at least two children and injured 17 others, labeling the attack as “incomprehensible.” The shooting happened during a Mass.

A statement was released by the Major League Baseball franchise shortly following police confirming that a man dressed in black and in his early 20s started shooting during a Mass that was happening at Minneapolis’ Annunciation Catholic School.

Alongside our community, we mourn this tragedy and yearn for a future where such violence no longer shatters lives. We are also profoundly grateful to the first responders whose courage prevented even greater loss.”
