Another school year, another mass shooting.

A shooter opened fire at a Catholic parish school in Minneapolis last month as children were attending Mass. The shooter fired through the church’s stained-glass windows, killing two children and injuring more than 17 before perishing from a self-inflicted gunshot.

Once again, the horror of school shootings — and mass murders in general — has reemerged at the forefront of American society: Columbine, Colo. (1999); Virginia Tech (2005); Sandy Hook, Conn. (2012); the Navy Yard in Washington (2013); Oregon (2015); the Pulse nightclub in Orlando (2016); Sutherland Springs in Texas (2017); Parkland, Fla. (2018); El Paso, Texas (2019); Uvalde and Buffalo (2022); Lewiston, Maine, and Monterey Park, Calif. (2023); and Jacksonville (2025).
