Increased Suspicion of Terrorism Connection in Minneapolis Assault, According to FBI Head - Terrorism suspect apprehended in Minneapolis, confirms FBI head
In a tragic turn of events, a shooting at a Catholic school in Minneapolis has left 15 children aged 6 to 15, 3 adults, and two young children aged 8 and 10 dead. The incident, which took place around late August 2025, is being investigated by the FBI as a possible domestic terrorist and hate crime targeting Catholics.
The shooter, a man identified in the ongoing investigation, reportedly opened fire during a school church service. The weapons used in the attack were inscribed with the names of mass murderers, and the shooter's manifesto and weapon inscriptions contained expressions of hatred towards Jews, references to the Holocaust, and calls for violence against former US President Donald Trump.
The FBI Director, Kash Patel, confirmed these details in a statement made on the online platform X. The investigation suggests that the shootings were a hate-motivated act of domestic terrorism. However, no new information about the motivation or ideology of the suspect in relation to specific groups has been revealed.
The FBI is also investigating a potential terror suspect in relation to the fatal shootings. The suspect's notebook, found at the scene, contained incoherent writings, but no clear messages have been deciphered as of yet.
The investigation into the Minneapolis school shootings is ongoing, with the FBI leading the efforts. The agency has classified the shootings as ongoing federal police matters. The community in Minneapolis and across the USA is left reeling from this senseless act of violence, as the nation grapples with the implications of this hate-motivated attack.
As the investigation continues, the community and the nation await answers and justice for the victims and their families. The FBI's efforts to uncover the motivations behind this tragic event are crucial in preventing such incidents from happening in the future.
