Vice President JD Vance visits Annunciation to pay respects to victims of mass shooting

Vice President JD Vance and his wife, Usah, visited Minneapolis on Wednesday to pay his respects to the victims of last week's mass shooting at Annunciation Catholic Church.

On Aug. 27, a shooter firing through the windows of the church during a school Mass killed two children and injured 21 other people — most of them also kids. Two children remain hospitalized as of Wednesday, one of them being in critical condition.  

The Vances, who are both Catholic, arrived at the church just after noon and laid flowers at the memorial there. Officials with the vice president's office said the couple also visited "the church sanctuary, the site of the shooting."

The couple were on Annunciation's campus for more than 90 minutes, and are said to have met privately with the parents of 8-year-old Fletcher Merkel and 10-year-old Harper Moyski, the children killed in the attack. They also met with Annunciation's pastor and school principal, Father Dennis Zehren and Matt DeBoer.
