Another transgender shooter carried out a horrific killing spree at Annunciation Catholic Church in Minneapolis on Wednesday morning, killing two young children and wounding 17 others.
A trans monster targets children praying
Multiple reports contend that the gunman, 23, is identified as Robert Westman, who changed his name to “Robin” when he was a minor with the blessing of his mother because he “identifies as a female and wants her name to reflect that identification.” The revelation of his gender came from a Minnesota government document shared online by Washington Free Beacon Editor Peter J. Hasson, according to the Daily Wire.
Westman eventually killed himself in the rear of the church, according to Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara, who spoke at a press conference following the shooting. Somehow, he managed to get inside, but it appears that all the shooting took place outside the church.
A deliberate act of violence
“This was a deliberate act of violence against innocent children and other people worshipping. The sheer cruelty and cowardice of firing into a church full of children is absolutely incomprehensible,” the police chief said.
“Our hearts are broken for the families who have lost their children,” O’Hara commented. “For these young lives who are now fighting to recover, and for our entire community that has been so deeply traumatized by this senseless attack. We will stand together to protect our children, our schools, and our houses of worship.”
The two children who were killed as they sat in the pews for a celebratory back-to-school Mass on the first day of school were 8 and 10 years old. The killer shot through the stained-glass windows of the church, randomly hitting children and worshippers. They were attending Mass at the Catholic church next to the school when he opened fire.
Armed to the teeth with a twisted agenda
The psychotic child-killer went fully prepared to slaughter innocents. He had a rifle, shotgun, and a pistol that he fired “dozens of rounds” from. He used wooden planks to barricade the doors to keep anyone from leaving his abattoir. He had “kill Donald Trump” and “for the children” scrawled on gun magazines.
Of the 17 wounded, 14 were children, according to authorities. One adult and six children are in critical condition per the Hennepin County Medical Center.
The New York Post is reporting that Westman put out a series of twisted videos before the shooting and may have a manifesto that obsesses over mass shooters.
“In one 20-minute video, a person believed to be Westman flips through a disturbing handwritten journal,” the New York Post reported.
From the New York Post:
In the deranged writings, he gleefully fantasizes about “being that scary horrible monster standing over those powerless kids” and reverently confesses admiration for the 2012 Sandy Hook massacre.
In the video, titled “So long and thanks for all the fish,” Westman slowly turns the pages of the red notebook, which is laid out on top of what appears to be schematic gun diagrams, one of them reading “Ruger Mark IV.”
As he flips the pages, an occasional plume of smoke is seen from the bottom of the screen, punctuated by coughs, disjointed cursing and maniacal giggles.
Each page is filled with inscrutable handwritten doggerel, much of it in Cyrillic, which includes violent ramblings such as “I have had thoughts about mass murder for a long time. I am very conflicted with writing this journal,” the text, translated by The Post, reads in part.
He wrote more seriously disturbing and evil notes about his wicked plan:
He also goes into great detail about his decision to target Annunciation, where his mother, Mary Grace Westman, worked until her 2021 retirement, according to a Facebook post by the church.
“I am feeling good about annunciation. It seems like a good combo of easy attack form and devastating tragedy and I want to do more research. I have concerns about finding a large enough group. I want to avoid any parents, but pre and post school drop off,” another page reads.
“Maybe I could attack an event at the on-site church,” he ominously scribbled. “I think attacking a large group of kids coming in from recess is my best plan … Then from there I can go inside and kill, going for as long as I can.”
“I was corrupted by this world and have learned to hate what life is … I have wanted this for so long. I am not well. I am not right. I am a sad person, haunted by these thoughts that do not go away,” his notebook in a video reads.
One message written on weaponry in the video said “Guy Bartkus,” which is an apparent reference to the man who blew himself up at a fertility clinic in California in May because he believed humans should not procreate. Another name scrawled on a gun was “Rupnow,” the last name of a high school student who opened fire at a Christian school in Wisconsin in December before killing herself.
Other messages show a mix of racial slurs, a pride flag, calls to kill President Donald Trump, the phrase “kill pedos,” pentagram symbols, and a statement that “6 million wasn’t enough,” referring to the Holocaust. One of Westman’s guns said, “There is no message.”
There was also a picture of Jesus Christ on a shooting target, and the words “f*ck your God” are seen on one of the guns.
Interestingly, his diary entries were written in both English and Russian.
“I need to get my thoughts out without getting on a watchlist haha!” the deranged killer wrote as he expressed a deep, abiding admiration for mass shooters such as Sandy Hook killer Adam Lanza.
“I have a deep fascination with one man in particular: Adam Lanza,” Westman wrote in the journal in May. “Sandy Hook was my favorite, I think, exposure of school shootings.”
Another video posted on YouTube showed off a cache of weapons, including a semi-automatic rifle and a shotgun.
Horror spreads after the attack
President Trump was apprised of the shooting as well.
“The FBI quickly responded and they are on the scene,” Trump posted to Truth Social. “The White House will continue to monitor this terrible situation. Please join me in praying for everyone involved!”
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem posted on X, “DHS is monitoring the horrific shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis. We are in communication with our interagency partners, and will share more information as soon as it becomes available. I am praying for the victims of this heinous attack and their families.”
“Police are responding to an active shooter call. Officers are reporting 20 victims. A man dressed in all black and armed with a rifle was reported at the scene. EMS has requested a Mass Casualty Response and fire crews are bringing in additional resources,” the Richfield Police Department said.
“I’ve been briefed on a shooting at Annunciation Catholic School and will continue to provide updates as we get more information,” Minnesota Governor Tim Walz wrote on X. “I’m praying for our kids and teachers whose first week of school was marred by this horrific violence.”
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey stated at the press conference, “There are no words that can capture the horror and the evil of this unspeakable act. Children are dead. There are families that have a deceased child. You cannot put into words the gravity, the tragedy, or the absolute pain of this situation.”
The shooting was first reported at 8:27 a.m. local time. Over 65 police units responded to the church and school, which are located on the 500 block of West 54th Street in Minneapolis. The school teaches kindergarten through 8th grade. Wednesday was the first day of the new school year.
Dems blame guns, not unhinged leftist transgenders
There have been a series of shootings in Minneapolis this week. It is another Democrat-led violent hellhole that needs cleaning out, just as DC, Chicago, Baltimore, and many others do.
But instead of acknowledging that fact and addressing it, Democrats are doing what they always do… blaming the victims and, more to the point… Christianity.
Frey lambasted Christians who offered “prayers” for the victims of the shooting. He told people not to offer their “thoughts and prayers” to the victims and their families.

“Don’t just say this is about thoughts and prayers right now. These kids were literally praying. It was the first week of school, they were in a church,” Frey monstrously stated during a press conference, obviously referring to gun control as the solution.
“These are kids that should be learning with their friends, they should be playing on the playground, they should be able to go to school or church in peace without the fear or risk of violence, and their parents should have the same kind of assurance. These are the sort of basic assurances that every family should have every step of the day, no matter where they are in our country,” he added.
The Daily Caller noted, “While telling Christians not to offer their prayers, Frey signed an ordinance in April 2023 which made Minneapolis the only major city in the U.S. to allow mosques to broadcast the Islamic call to prayer five times a day.”
It would seem that Frey, just like the rest of the sycophant Democratic Party, has their priorities screwed up as well as their morals, ethics, and religious leanings.
