Minneapolis Police Chief on Church Shooting: Shooter 'Could Not See' Victims

Church Doors and Safety Measures

• 📌 The doors of Annunciation Church were locked once mass began, a practice that likely saved additional lives during the incident.
• ⚠️ The shooter barricaded the doors on the side of the church where the shooting took place.

Heinous Nature of the Attack

• 🎯 The attack is described as heinous and cowardly because the shooter could not see the children he was shooting at.
• 🎯 The shooter fired from outside the building through narrow church windows, targeting the area where pews were located.
• 🎯 At the rear of the church, the shooter fired through an all-glass entryway, but no one entered.
