I pray for the recovery of the 18-year-old young man who faces life-threatening injuries. The investigation is ongoing, and I am in touch with city leaders and will continue to provide support any way I can. "In the past two years, Minnesota acted decisively to curb gun violence by passing expanded background checks, extreme risk protection orders and banning straw purchases — yet gun violence remains the leading cause of death for children. I will continue advocating for stronger gun violence prevention measures that keep our communities safe until no parent has to fear sending their child to the park, school, or anywhere in our state."
