Rep. Kaela Berg Statement on Annunciation Church Shooting

Wednesday, August 27, 2025

Minneapolis, MN – Today, there were early reports of gunfire, mass casualties, and two confirmed deaths at Annunciation Church in South Minneapolis. The situation is still developing as our first responders work rapidly to care for the victims.

Rep. Kaela Berg released the following statement:

“I am so deeply heartbroken as our state is confronted with yet another tragedy. No one should be forced to face a deeply painful and traumatic event like this. The victims will never be the same after this, neither will their families and their communities. Gun violence is out of control in this nation, no other nation sends their children to school knowing there is a chance they will face a mass shooting. For now,  I stand with the victims and their community, but we must do more to ensure this never happens again.”
