Minnesota Timberwolves star Julius Randle was one of the many who could not understand the horrible shooting that made at least two children who died and 17 others injured in a Minnesota church on Wednesday.
The police confirmed that a man, at the beginning of the twenty and dressed in black clothes, opened fire during a mass at the Catholic school announced in Minneapolis.
Randle, father of three, had a broken heart to hear the news in the hometown of his team.

“Prayers to everyone in Minnesota SMH (shaking up),” posted Randle on X. “I worry every day for my children about these things. We must be better.”
The Timberwolves also published a statement on the issue.

“Our thoughts and deepest sympathies are with the victims, their families and all those whose life has been changed forever by this insane act of violence.
“As members of this community, we are moving together. No child should never feel dangerous in a place of learning or worship, and no family should undergo such unimaginable loss. With all minnesotans, we mourn this tragic loss and extends strength and compassion to all affected people.”

The Minneapolis police chief Brian O’Hara detailed the horrible act of violence of the shooter, while he was approaching the church and began to “pull a rifle through the windows of the church towards the children sitting in the benches.
“Pulling through the windows, he struck the children and the faithful who were inside the building,” said O’Hara. “The shooter was armed with a rifle, a shotgun and a pistol. It was an act of deliberate violence against innocent children and other people adored. Cruelty and cowardice to shoot in a church full of children are absolutely incomprehensible.”
The shooter died, probably a self-inflicted shot injury.
