The shooting occurred during a Mass attended by nearly 200 children at the start of the school year. Armed with a rifle, shotgun, and pistol, Westman fired through the church windows before dying by suicide. Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O\u2019Hara called the attack \u201cabsolutely incomprehensible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"554\" data-end=\"884\">Westman\u2019s gender identity has been a subject of discussion. In 2020, a judge approved a name change from Robert to Robin, following a petition by Westman\u2019s mother stating Westman identified as female. However, Westman\u2019s own writings expressed uncertainty, saying, \u201cI know I am not a woman, but I definitely don\u2019t feel like a man.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"886\" data-end=\"1196\">Federal officials referred to Westman as transgender, prompting Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey to urge against hatred toward the transgender community following the tragedy. FBI Director Kash Patel announced the shooting is being investigated as an act of domestic terrorism and a hate crime targeting Catholics.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1198\" data-end=\"1358\">Archbishop Bernard Hebda mourned the tragedy, reflecting on the church\u2019s inscription, \u201cHouse of God and the gate of heaven,\u201d calling the violence \u201cunthinkable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1360\" data-end=\"1640\">Former First Lady Melania Trump released a heartfelt statement expressing sympathy to victims\u2019 families, calling the attack a \u201csenseless and depraved violent act.\u201d Former President Donald Trump also responded, noting the FBI\u2019s swift response and urging prayers for those affected.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1360\" data-end=\"1640\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-11835\" src=\"https:\/\/negatius.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Screenshot_9-2-300x139.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"139\" srcset=\"https:\/\/negatius.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Screenshot_9-2-300x139.webp 300w, https:\/\/negatius.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Screenshot_9-2.webp 677w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On August 27, 23-year-old Robin Westman opened fire at Annunciation Catholic School Church in Minnesota, killing two children aged eight and ten, and injuring 17 others.
