In the aftermath of the Minneapolis church shooting on Wednesday by a demonic transgender individual, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt outlined how the Trump Administration is keeping schools safe and taking threats out of communities.
Leavitt revealed that just last night, “there was an arrest of a juvenile right here in DC in Ward 7 for threats to kidnap and injure, receiving stolen property, possession of a large capacity feeding device, unlawful possession of firearms and ammunition.”
“A search warrant was executed, seven firearms were recovered, and the juvenile was arrested after an investigation was initiated based on social media posts allegedly threatening violence towards a school,” Leavitt continued.
The arrest was made apparently just hours after a transgender gunman opened fire, shooting through the windows of the church at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, Minnesota, as K-8 students attended mass during the first week of the school year. The mentally ill individual killed two young children and injured 17 people before killing himself.

NTD correspondent Iris Tao asked Leavitt on Thursday for the Trump Administration’s message to parents who are worried about violence in schools, when she highlighted the incident.
“As a parent myself, there are no words to describe just the heartbreak that these families must be enduring… and it’s why this administration is focused on removing public safety threats from our communities,” she said before disclosing the new arrest.
“If you see something, say something. If you see warning signs of threats, report it to law enforcement. This administration, federal law enforcement, will take those reports and those threats seriously. They will be treated as a law enforcement emergency, and we will act accordingly.”
Leavitt also highlighted the success of President Trump’s takeover in Washington, DC, earlier in the briefing, telling reporters that there have been more than 1,283 arrests and a massive reduction in crime, including a 19% reduction in all crime, 30% reduction in violent crime, 57% reduction in homicides, 23% reduction in assaults with deadly weapons, and a 67% reduction in carjackings.

Tao: What’s the administration’s message to some concerned parents across the country who might be now worried about their kids’ safety, in light of the latest incident?
Leavitt: We completely and totally understand the concerns of parents across the country. This tragedy is heartbreaking. As a parent myself, there are no words to describe just the heartbreak that these families must be enduring, which is why the President and the First Lady have encouraged everyone to continue to pray for these families and these victims, and it’s why this administration is focused on removing public safety threats from our communities.
And in fact, I can share with all of you that last night in Washington, DC, when arrests were being made, there was an arrest of a juvenile right here in DC in Ward 7 for threats to kidnap and injure, receiving stolen property, possession of a large capacity feeding device, unlawful possession of firearms and ammunition. A search warrant was executed, seven firearms were recovered, and the juvenile was arrested after an investigation was initiated based on social media posts allegedly threatening violence towards a school. So, this was a juvenile, who was a risk to not just himself but the community here in Washington, and he was removed from the community last night because of the law enforcement efforts of this administration.
And I would also point to the statement of our wonderful First Lady that she released yesterday. She wrote, “The tragic mass killing in Minnesota illuminates the need for preemptive intervention in identifying school shooters. Early warning signs are often evident, with many individuals exhibiting concerning behaviors and making violent threats online prior to their actions.” We encourage all Americans, as the old saying goes, if you see something, say something. If you see warning signs of threats, report it to law enforcement. This administration, federal law enforcement, will take those reports and those threats seriously. They will be treated as a law enforcement emergency, and we will act accordingly.
