Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey rejected "thoughts and prayers" during an emotional press briefing on the shooting at Annunciation Catholic School, RadarOnline.com can reveal.

Frey said students were "literally praying" in mass to mark the start of the school year when a gunman opened fire through a window at the church on the morning of Wednesday, August 27.

Two students, ages 8 and 10, were killed in the attack, and 14 students and three adults were injured. Police reportedly said the gunman, who was believed to be in his early 20s, died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
