27.08.2025 โ‡ข The day of the Minneapolis school shooting and hate crime investigation
โŒจThe day was overwhelmingly defined by the Minneapolis Catholic school shooting. Reports escalated rapidly from an active shooter incident in the early afternoon to confirmed fatalities, including two children (ages 8 and 10), and 17 injured, with the gunman dying by suicide. Media extensively covered details of the attack, including the assailant firing through church windows during Mass and barricading doors. By evening, the shooter was identified, with reports highlighting a transgender identity and alleged anti-Trump motives, including "Kill Donald Trump" scrawled on weapons. The FBI subsequently announced an investigation into the attack as a hate crime and domestic terrorism.
Concurrently, President Trump's assertion of federal control continued, notably with the administration taking over Union Station's management, a move later characterized as a "botched PR stunt" by some outlets. Ongoing reports also detailed FEMA employee suspensions over Trump criticism and the full effect of 50% US tariffs on Indian goods.
