Minneapolis School Shooting Shatters First Week of Classes
Police have identified 23-year-old Robin Westman as the suspected g*nman in the Minneapolis school sh0*ting.
Just before the a**ack, Westman reportedly posted a disturbing video showing off w**pons while laughing hysterically. One magazine bore chilling words: “For the children.”
The a**ack occurred outside Annunciation Catholic Church on Wednesday. Westman fired through stained-glass windows, bypassing doors reinforced with wooden planks. Two children were ki**ed, and 17 others were injured.
The City of Minneapolis confirmed an “active police situation” but reassured residents: “No active thr**t to the community at this time. The g*nman is contained.”
Sh**ter’s Background
Authorities revealed that Westman had attended the school for at least a year. Westman’s mother had worked there until retiring in 2021.
Court documents show that at 17, Westman filed to change their name in 2020, identifying “as a female”.
Hours before the attack, Westman uploaded a series of disturbing videos to YouTube. Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara said one video appeared to be a manifesto.
In the clips, Westman displayed a stockpile of firearms, ammunition, and a handwritten four-page manifesto directed at family and friends. The letter opened with:
“I don’t expect forgiveness … I do apologize for the effects my actions will have on your lives. I was corrupted by this world and have learned to hate what life is.”
Westman’s writings also referenced vi*lence against President Trump and Jewish people. The manifesto included personal reflections:
“I don’t want to dress girly all the time but I guess sometimes I really like it. I know I am not a woman but I definitely don’t feel like a man.”
Police confirmed that Westman d**d from a self-inflicted g*nshot wo*nd. Officials said Westman had no criminal history, and investigators are still determining a motive.
Former Classmate Speaks Out
Josefina Sanchez, a former classmate, recalled that Westman had few friends and displayed unusual fixations. She first knew Robin as Robert in grade school.
By seventh grade, she briefly befriended Robert, but the friendship ended after troubling behavior. “When you see something erratic, it doesn’t leave your mind… he would put up his hand and praise Hitler,” Sanchez said.
Official Reactions
FBI Director Kash Patel called the tragedy an act of domestic ter*orism and a hate crime targeting Catholics. He confirmed the victims included an 8-year-old and a 10-year-old, while 14 children and 3 adults were injured.
President Donald Trump said on Truth Social that he had been fully briefed. “The FBI quickly responded and they are on the scene. Please join me in praying for everyone involved.”
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz added: “I’m praying for our kids and teachers whose first week of school was marred by this hor*ific act of vi*lence.”
A Community in Mourning
The first week of school in Minneapolis has been overshadowed by hor*or. Targeting children is cowardly and unforgivable. Communities are left grieving, and thoughts and prayers go out to everyone affected.
