Minneapolis is drawing global attention because a mass shooting during morning Mass at Annunciation Catholic School left two children, aged eight and ten, dead and seventeen others injured. The attacker, identified as 23-year-old Robin Westman, opened fire through church windows with multiple weapons before taking his own life. Fourteen of the injured were children, seven critically hurt. President Donald Trump ordered US flags flown at half-staff nationwide in honour of victims.
The horrific attack shocked Minnesota as terrified students hid under pews and in the gym. One survivor said a friend shielded him from bullets but was hit in the back. Police later confirmed the gunman left disturbing videos containing racist and antisemitic messages. Leaders across the country condemned the violence, urging stronger gun reforms, while grieving families and worshippers struggled to comprehend the devastating loss within their community
Authorities have confirmed the Minneapolis shooting suspect as 23-year-old Robin Westman. Prior to the attack, Westman posted several videos on social media that have since been removed. In them, he displayed weapons and expressed hostility toward Christians. One of the recovered magazines bore the words, “Where is your God?”, highlighting the disturbing nature of his messages.
