Evaluations of Acts of Violence

A tragic shooting occurred on Wednesday, September 10, 2025, at Evergreen High School in Evergreen, Colorado. The perpetrator, identified as 16-year-old Desmond Holly, a student at the school, opened fire with a handgun. He injured two students before taking his own life.

The fatal shooting of a prominent conservative political activist, has sent shockwaves through the American political landscape. The event, which occurred on September 10, 2025, at Utah Valley University, has been widely condemned as a targeted act of political violence.

My heart goes out to all of you as we process the devastating news of the recent shooting in Minnesota. The events that unfolded are beyond comprehension, and it’s okay to feel a mix of shock, fear, sadness, and anger. This is a time to lean on one another and to remember that we are a community—a safe space for our children and for each other.
