This is CNN Breaking News.

Good evening, everyone. I'm Laura Coates, right here in Minneapolis.

Just a few feet away from the Annunciation School here in Minneapolis, a site of yet another horrific school shooting in this country.

Earlier today, it was a site with two children, ages just

eight and ten years old, were gunned down while they were, among other students, in a school

mass, praying together. Fourteen other children were also injured and three adults.

During the mass, a gunman approached on the outside, on the side of the building

and began firing a rifle through the church windows, towards the children sitting in the pews at the mess.

Shooting through the windows, he struck children and worshippers that were inside the building.

The shooter was armed with a rifle, a shotgun, and a pistol. The coward who fired these shots

ultimately took his own life in the rear of the church.

Start wearing that 23-year-old gunmen who ultimately took their own life, once attended the school.

Changed legally their name from Robert Westman to Robin Westman in 2019. Purchased those weapons legally and purchased them

recently, unbelievably so, and left a sprawling, and I mean sprawling, hate-filled manifesto that

targeted so many different groups. It's hard to even comprehend that level of hate that was spewed.

And the motive tonight is still unclear, but one thing is certain.

The pain and the wake of tragedy, unimaginable.

There are no words that can capture the horror and the evil of this unspeakable act.

Children are dead.

They are families that have a deceased child.

But to everybody out there, do not think of these as just somebody else's kids.

Those families are suffering immense pain right now.
