Parents of victims from the Annunciation Catholic Church shooting in Minneapolis, Minnesota, shared how the event has impacted their children's lives, reflected on Vice President JD Vance’s visit, and called for change.

Two children, ages 8 and 10, are dead Wednesday following a shooting at Annunciation Church in south Minneapolis, where students at the Catholic school there gathered for a Mass to celebrate the beginning of the school year.

According to Vance’s office, the vice president and second lady Usha Vance met privately with family members of victims, the pastor of the parish and the school principal. They included the parents of the two children who died, Fletcher Merkel, 8, and Harper Moyski, 10, and families of some of the 21 people who were injured.
