There was a shooting in a Catholic Church in Utah on Father's Day 2013. Once the physical property was properly restored, the priest performed an act of restoration of the church. (I'm not sure if he used the older rite, but since he does offer the EF once a week during weekdays and once a month on Sunday, it would not be a surprise.)
