Here's what we know:

Two children are dead, ages 8 and 10, after a gunman opened fire at the Annunciation Catholic School during a morning Mass on the south side of Minneapolis, authorities said. Seventeen others, including 14 children, were injured in the mass shooting, police said. The gunman, who was in his early 20s, died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, police said. The city of Minneapolis said that there is no active threat at this time. Agents with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives have at least one firearm in their possession from the shooter, and they are beginning the tracing protocol, according to an ATF source in Minneapolis.

I don't advocate for suicide, but if you're gonna go kill kids and then yourself, just skip the kids and be done with it.

I just hate all these cowardly gunmen who shoot easy defenseless targets and then avoid any consequence by shooting themselves. Why schools? wtf is wrong with people
