Vice President JD Vance is scheduled to visit Minneapolis on Wednesday, one week after the shooting at Annunciation Catholic Church that killed two children and injured 21 other people.
Vance’s office said the vice president and second lady Usha Vance will be in Minneapolis to pay their respects to the victims of the shooting.
“They will hold a series of private meetings to convey condolences to the families of those affected by the tragedy,” a statement from Vance’s office read.
Further details on the visit were not available.
There are memorials outside the church and neighboring Annunciation Catholic School to 8-year-old Fletcher Merkel and 10-year-old Harper Moyski, who died in the shooting during a morning church service attended by students. Eighteen of the other 21 people wounded were children.
As of earlier this week, several victims of the shooting remained hospitalized.
Blue and green ribbons are tied around trees throughout the neighborhood and across the Twin Cities to show support for the Annunciation community.
