US Vice President JD Vance and his Wife Uscha Lay Flowers at Memorial of the Annunciation Church Shooting in Minneapolis - VIDEO



U.S. Vice President JD Vance and his wife, Usha Vance, visited Annunciation Catholic Church in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on September 3rd and laid flowers at the memorial where two children were killed and 21 other people were injured during an August 27th mass shooting.
Vice President Vance discussed meeting with the families of the Minneapolis shooting victims: “A lot of things have happened to me since I’ve become Vice President of the United States. I have never had a day that will stay with me like this day did.”
The Vances also met privately with family members affected by the shooting, including the parents of the two children who died: 8-year-old Fletcher Merkel and 10-year-old Harper Moyski.
Vice President Vance wrote on X: I just left Minneapolis, where I was honored to meet with a number of grieving famlies and hear about their beautiful children--in particular Harper (10) and Fletcher (8), who died in the Annunciation school shooting. I also met another beautiful girl who is recovering well, thank God. We discussed a lot, but all the families had a couple of immediate requests: First, to pray for Sophia, who continues to fight for her life every day. Pray for her health, pray for her swelling to be controlled, and pray for strength for her parents, doctors, and nurses. Second, don't give the shooter the attention, but focus on the kids who were taken from us. I learned that Harper had a smile that could light up the room, that she loved visiting the national parks with her parents, and that she looked beautiful in her first communion gown. I learned that Fletcher was rambunctious and energetic, that he loved football and basketball, and that he had an amazing head of hair.
Yes, they were taken from their families far too soon. But in their short lives they made a big mark on the many people who loved them. Let's give them the attention they deserve.

How about gun control to prevent these senseless attacks on innocent people ? Instead of patting yourselves on the back and advertising on social media do something useful!
