The 23-year-old shooter, who identified as transgender, killed two children and injured 17 others before taking his own life, with the FBI labeling it a hate crime and domestic terrorism.
- During a Wednesday morning Mass at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, a shooter killed two children and injured 17 others at 8:15 a.m., FBI Director Kash Patel said the attack is investigated as domestic terrorism and anti-Catholic hate crime.
- Investigators say the attacker uploaded a timed YouTube manifesto and disturbing videos shortly before the attack, showing weapon messages like `Where is your God?` and references to past shooters including the Christchurch mosque attacker.
- Armed with a rifle, shotgun and handgun, Westman fired through the church side windows at children, and authorities say he died by a self-inflicted gunshot; Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara said, `Law enforcement believes he acted alone.`
- Hospitals reported treating multiple victims, with Hennepin County Medical Center treating 11 patients and Children's Minnesota caring for five; four seriously injured underwent emergency surgeries with no further deaths reported. President Donald Trump ordered flags at half-staff until sunset on Sunday.
- The attack comes amid a string of recent shootings in Minneapolis, with the fourth in 24 hours and more than 140 nationwide in 2025; local leaders and school officials urge support as the community mourns and seeks recovery.
