Robin Westman, identified as the suspect in the Wednesday morning shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, allegedly shared disturbing content on a now-deleted YouTube channel under the name "Robin W."
A now-deleted YouTube video, reportedly posted hours before the attack, surfaced on X. The 11-minute clip allegedly showed Westman flipping through a red notebook described as a manifesto, containing:
Other videos allegedly uploaded to the “Robin W” channel displayed weapons, including a semi-automatic rifle and a shotgun. Some of the magazines are marked with disturbing messages such as “for the children” and “kill Donald Trump.”
According to NY Post, some videos indicated Westman’s fixation on mass shooters, particularly Sandy Hook gunman Adam Lanza. Some posts on X claimed the videos included pro-trans, pro-communist, and anti-Trump sentiments.
These claims have not been verified by law enforcement. While screenshots and video clips were circulated on X, their authenticity has not been independently confirmed by Hindustan Times.
Robin Westman, a 22-year-old, opened fire during a morning Mass at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis on Wednesday, killing two children (aged 8 and 10) and injuring 17 others. Armed with a rifle, shotgun, and pistol, he shot through stained-glass windows targeting children in the pews.
“The coward who fired these shots ultimately took his own life in the rear of the church,” Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara said at a press conference. “The sheer cruelty and cowardice, firing into a church full of children, is absolutely incomprehensible."
