Overview

• Gov. Tim Walz said calling lawmakers back without a bipartisan commitment to vote on gun restrictions would be a waste of money and time, and he plans town halls to keep pressure on the issue.
• Hundreds of faith leaders delivered a letter with roughly 700–750 signatures urging a special session for assault‑weapon and high‑capacity magazine bans and began daily noon prayer vigils at the Capitol.
• House Speaker Lisa Demuth said Republicans would attend a special session if called but would not agree in advance to pass an unwritten gun ban proposal.
• The Minnesota House is tied and the DFL‑led Senate has a vacancy, leaving the vote count for any ban uncertain in both chambers.
• Minneapolis Police now report 30 people were injured in the Annunciation attack, which also killed Harper Moyski, 10, and Fletcher Merkel, 8.
