Mother of Annunciation Catholic Church shooting victim: ‘Prayers didn’t stop the bullets’

Michie · Sunday at 8:39 AM

Amid debate over whether prayer is a sufficient response to gun violence, a Minneapolis mother whose daughter was wounded in a Catholic church shooting said action is the only way to keep children safe. Speaking days after the attack by a trans-identified shooter that left two children dead during a Mass, she urged Americans to demand policy change.

Malia Kimbrell’s 9-year-old daughter, Vivian St. Clair, a third grader, was shot three times during the Aug. 27 attack at Annunciation Catholic Church, where students had gathered for a back-to-school Mass.

Kimbrell said Vivian was hit twice in the back and once in the arm, and a friend told her that Vivian had a hole in her back, NBC affiliate KARE 11 reported.

There are people who could have and should have acted days or weeks or months in advance with regard to this demented shooter. But they didn't. Many simply affirmed the dementedness. Minnesota officially affirms it all. But as Willy Nelson says, 'That s&*^ Ain't Right'.

The demented shooter had to take his own life because nobody else was available to shoot back. Some of that was timing. It all happened faster than anyone could reasonably react. BUT the shooter knew he had picked a soft target where nobody would be shooting back. That was cowardice on the part of the shooter but also on the part of the defenders.
