Minneapolis School Shooting Suspect’s Weapons Featured Threats Against Trump and India

Herald Team

A tragic shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis on Wednesday left two students dead, with authorities revealing disturbing messages on the shooter’s weapons. The suspect, identified as 23-year-old Robin Westman, reportedly had phrases such as “kill Donald Trump” and “nuke India” written on his guns, according to a video from his now-deleted YouTube channel.

Westman, who used a rifle, shotgun, and pistol during the attack, fired dozens of rounds at the church where school children were attending a service. He was later found dead in the parking lot, with officials suspecting a self-inflicted gunshot.

Court records indicate Westman had legally changed his name from Robert in 2020, identifying as female. Prior to the attack, videos posted on his YouTube channel — which has since been removed — showed a cache of weapons, ammunition, and loaded magazines. In the footage, messages such as “kill Trump now,” “Israel must fall,” “Burn Israel,” and “for the children” were written on magazines, alongside names of previous school shooters and some inscriptions in Cyrillic.

Authorities continue to investigate the motive behind the attack, which has shocked the local community and reignited concerns about school safety in the United States.
