On August 27th, 2025, tragedy struck Minneapolis when a former student opened fire at Annunciation Catholic School, killing two children and wounding eighteen. The suspected shooter, Robin Westman, identified as transgender — sparking immediate political firestorms, culture-war talking points, and a flood of misinformation.
In this special episode of The MiddleGround Mic, we cut through the noise. We examine the facts of the shooting, Westman’s background, the writings and extremist messages left behind, and the broader issues of gun access, mental health, and community resilience. We push back against scapegoating entire communities while demanding accountability for systems that keep failing.
This is not about politics. It’s about balance, empathy, and truth. Because if we don’t find the middle, we risk losing it all.
