Overview

• Two children were killed and 17 people were injured when Robin Westman opened fire during a school Mass at Annunciation Catholic Church in Minneapolis before dying by suicide, police said.
• The FBI is investigating the attack as domestic terrorism and a potential hate crime targeting Catholics, according to Director Kash Patel.
• Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said on Fox & Friends that NIH is launching studies into whether SSRIs or other psychiatric drugs might contribute to violence.
• Minneapolis police and federal officials have not indicated that Westman was taking SSRIs, and HHS has not presented evidence establishing any link in this case.
• Sen. Tina Smith called for Kennedy’s firing over his remarks as public-health experts reiterated that research has found no credible causal connection between antidepressants and mass shootings.
