A tragic mass shooting occurred on Wednesday morning at the Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, Minnesota, leaving two children dead and 17 others injured. The shooter, identified as 23-year-old Robin Westman, used three weapons—a rifle, a shotgun, and a pistol—during the attack. Disturbingly, messages such as “Kill Donald Trump,” “Nuke India,” “Israel must fall,” and “Burn Israel” were reportedly written on the firearms and magazines used in the assault. Additional messages included “Where is your God?” and “For the children.”

Westman posted videos on his YouTube channel “Robin W,” showcasing his weapons and the chilling messages, although the channel has since been taken down. In one of the videos, Westman was seen holding a weapon and stating, “This one is for me. In case I need it.” Authorities confirmed that Westman had legally changed his name from Robert in 2020.

According to Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara, Westman approached the side of the church during Mass and fired dozens of rounds through the windows toward the children seated in the pews. The two children who were killed were aged 8 and 10. The shooter was later found dead in the church parking lot.

The attack has shocked the community and raised concerns over school security and domestic extremism. According to the Time Crime Index, overall homicides in the US have decreased by 21 percent compared to the same period in 2024, highlighting the unusual severity of this incident.
