Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey called on Thursday for a statewide and national ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines after the deadly attack at Annunciation Catholic School and Church. “There is no reason someone should be able to reel off 30 shots before reloading,” Frey said at City Hall, urging Minnesota lawmakers and the U.S. Congress to act quickly. Frey’s appeal follows Wednesday’s mass shooting at the south-Minneapolis parish, where a gunman opened fire during a back-to-school Mass, killing two children and wounding 18 other people. Police said the suspected shooter, 23-year-old former student Robin Westman, was armed with a rifle, shotgun and handgun purchased legally. Westman died at the scene from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Investigators are treating the assault as an act of domestic terrorism and a hate crime targeting Catholics, noting written and video evidence of the suspect’s fixation on prior mass shootings. All hospitalized victims—14 children and four adults—are expected to survive, according to Hennepin Healthcare officials. Minnesota already requires permits to purchase firearms and allows extreme-risk protection orders, yet it has no statewide restriction on assault-style rifles. Frey’s remarks were echoed by Representative Ilhan Omar and American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten, underscoring renewed pressure on state legislatures and Congress to revive a federal assault-weapons ban that lapsed in 2004.
