Episode Description

State and federal investigators are still reviewing the facts surrounding the Annunciation Catholic School and Church shooting last Wednesday. Some local and national leaders have used the terms “hate crime” and “domestic terrorism” to describe the shooter's attack on students and other churchgoers last week.


FBI Director Kash Patel said the shooting will be investigated as an anti-Catholic hate crime. Things may be more complicated than that, since the specifics around the shooter's motives are not yet clear.


Jessica Hodge, a professor of Justice and Society Studies at the University of St. Thomas, joined Minnesota Now to break down how officials might look at defining the crime.
