Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Youth Arrested in Minnesota Connected to School Shootings

HeadlineMar 29, 2005

In Minnesota, federal officials have arrested a youth in connection with last week’s shootings that left 10 dead at the Red Lake Native American reservation. Until now investigators have said the shooter–16-year-old Jeff Weise–acted alone. Weise killed himself on the day of the rampage. Police have not said what role the arrested youth had in the killings. The New York Times identified the youth as Louis Jourdain, the teenage son of the Red Lake Chippewa’s tribal leader Floyd Jourdain Jr.
