Twins denounce fatal shooting at Minnesota Catholic church as 'incomprehensible' attack

Fox News correspondent CB Cotton has the latest on the response to the tragedy on 'America Reports.'

The Minnesota Twins condemned a fatal shooting at a Minnesota church on Wednesday that left at least two children dead and 17 others injured, calling the attack, which occurred during a Mass, "incomprehensible." 

The MLB team released a statement shortly after law enforcement confirmed that a man in his early 20s and dressed in black clothing opened fire during a Mass at the Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis.

"Our deepest sympathies and prayers are with the victims, their families, and all who have been affected. Alongside our community, we mourn this tragedy and yearn for a future where such violence no longer shatters lives. We are also profoundly grateful to the first responders whose courage prevented even greater loss." 

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara said the gunman approached the church and began "firing a rifle through the church windows towards the children sitting in the pews at the Mass." 

"Shooting through the windows, he struck children and worshipers that were inside the building," O'Hara said. "The shooter was armed with a rifle, a shotgun and a pistol. This was a deliberate act of violence against innocent children and other people
