A tragic shooting incident occurred at a Catholic school in Minneapolis on Wednesday, resulting in the deaths of two young children, aged 8 and 10, and injuring 17 others. The assailant, identified as 23-year-old Robin Westman, reportedly had unsettling messages inscribed on his firearms. A video from his now-deleted YouTube account displayed phrases such as 'kill Donald Trump' and 'nuke India' written on his weapons.
The attack unfolded during the first week of the school year while students were attending Mass. According to Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara, Westman was armed with a rifle, a pistol, and a shotgun, firing numerous rounds into the church where children were present.
Court records indicate that Westman, who changed his name from Robert in 2020, identified as female.
Before the channel was removed, at least two videos were posted on a YouTube account named 'Robin W'. One of these videos, approximately 10 minutes long and filmed with a mobile device, showcased a collection of firearms, ammunition, and loaded magazines.
The magazines bore messages such as 'Kill Donald Trump', 'kill Trump now', 'Israel must fall', and 'Burn Israel', while one weapon had 'Nuke India' inscribed on it. Other phrases included 'Where is your God?' and 'for the children'.
