The father of Fletcher Merkel, an eight-year-old boy tragically killed in the recent shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, has urged the community to remember his son for the person he was rather than the violent act that ended his life. Fletcher, along with ten-year-old Harper Moyski, was targeted and killed while praying at the school, reportedly because of their Christian faith. Families of the victims have shared emotional pleas, emphasizing the children's loving nature and interests, including Fletcher's love for family, fishing, and cooking. The community continues to mourn the loss of the two children, described as angels by their families.
