“Horrified by the tragic shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis,” tweets Sa’ar, who is on an official trip to the US. “Israel stands in solidarity with the US and the Catholic community.”
Two children, aged 8 and 10, were killed and 17 others were wounded when a gunman opened fire on students attending Mass at the Catholic school, authorities say.
The assailant, a man in his early 20s, fired dozens of rounds through the church windows at students sitting in church pews and then took his own life, officials say.
Investigators have not publicly identified a motive.
