Summary of Events

  • The shooter, identified as Robin Westman (born Robert Westman, 23 years old), carried out an attack at a Catholic church and school during mass.

  • Weapons used: pistol, rifle, and shotgun.

  • Casualties reported: 2 children (ages 8 and 10) killed, 17 others injured (14 children and 3 adults).

  • The shooter allegedly took their own life inside the church.

  • The FBI labeled the case as a hate crime and domestic terrorism targeting Catholics, though local police had not fully confirmed the motive.

Shooter Background

  • Legally changed name from Robert to Robin at age 17.

  • Described as transgender by commentators in the text.

  • Left behind videos, writings, and a manifesto with disturbing content:

    • Admiration for previous mass shooters.

    • Anti-Catholic, anti-Trump, and anti-Israel messages written on firearms and magazines (e.g., “Kill Donald Trump,” “Israel must fall”).

    • Obsession with school shootings and extremist rhetoric.

  • Mother previously worked at the same school; shooter graduated from it in 2017.

Political & Media Reactions

  • Trump administration officials and FBI leadership framed the shooting as an act of religiously motivated hate.

  • Commentary in the document accuses Democrats and liberal media of downplaying the hate-crime angle and focusing instead on gun control.

  • References to Amy Klobuchar, Jen Psaki, and the Minneapolis mayor, criticizing their calls for tighter gun laws and for allegedly ignoring the ideological/mental health aspects.

  • The mayor’s emotional remarks about gun violence and children’s safety are quoted, but framed as anti-gun rhetoric.

  • The commentary repeatedly emphasizes a pattern of transgender shooters and accuses mainstream media of suppressing that detail.
