Baltimore Archbishop William E. Lori offered prayers and support after the shootings at a Catholic school in Minneapolis: "Following upon the unspeakable tragedy at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, where innocent children were injured and killed during Mass, please join me in offering prayers for them and for Christ's peace and comfort for their parents, siblings, families and classmates. Let us pray, too, for an end to this epidemic of gun violence in our country and let us work together to bring His healing love to this beleaguered world."
