 were in prayer, killing 2 children and injuring 21 others;

 medical teams and caregivers at the Children's Minnesota Hospital and 
 Hennepin Healthcare System, and Federal law enforcement, community

Whereas the Annunciation Catholic community, local schools, families, and 
 neighbors have shown strength and resilience in the face of this 
 tragedy: Now, therefore, be it
