CAM Expresses Condolences to Families of Minneapolis Church Shooting Victims
CAM extends its deepest condolences to families of the victims of the horrific shooting of Catholic school children in Minneapolis on Wednesday.
While the attack is still under investigation, antisemitic hatred appeared to have been among the shooter’s motives, as messages including "6 million wasn't enough," "Jew Gas," and "Burn Israel," as well as the name of 2018 Pittsburgh synagogue massacre perpetrator Robert Bowers, were written on his weaponry.
