Shooter Kills 2 Children, Injures 17 at Minneapolis Catholic School
Sources told FOX9 that the suspect is dead.
Minnesota authorities confirmed a shooting at the Annunciation Church and Catholic School in Minneapolis. The shooting occurred while the students celebrated school Mass at 8:15 AM this morning.
The suspect killed two children and injured 17 others:
“During the mass, the gunman approached on the outside, on the side of the building, and began firing a rifle through the church windows towards the children sitting in the pews at the mass. Shooting through the windows, he struck children and worshipers that were inside the building.”
A name of the suspect is floating around. I refuse to put anything coming out about the suspect until I have confirmation.
The shooter was armed with a rifle, shotgun and a pistol. Believed to be in his early 20s, the gunman took his own life in the rear of the church, O’Hara said. Two children, ages 8 and 10, were killed in the pews. Seventeen people were injured, 14 of them children. Two are in critical condition.
“This was a deliberate act of violence against innocent children and other people worshiping. The sheer cruelty and cowardice of firing into a church full of children is absolutely incomprehensible,” Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara said.
O’Hara did not identify the shooter. He only said the shooter, a man in his early 20s, took his own life behind the church.
The male “does not have an extensive criminal history.” Authorities do not have his motive.
Personnel have been treating five children:
“Children’s Minnesota is aware of the recent tragic shooting in Minneapolis. Our teams are trained to respond in times of crisis, and are fully prepared to care for impacted children. Currently, five children are admitted to our hospital for care. We will not share more details to respect the privacy of our patients and families.”
Mayor Jacob Frey has received a ton of backlash for rejecting thoughts and prayers.

"Don't just say ‘thoughts and prayers.' These kids were literally praying.”

the garbage that would do this is making a political statement no matter who the pos turns out to be
Other sources said he was dressed all in black and it’s the week of the DNC Convention in Minneapolis where speaker after speaker demonized anyone not all in on abortion and tranny “rights”. Gee, I wonder if someone was making good on the rhetoric about the evil, Nazi right?
Crazed tranny terrorist today, folks. The ‘female-identifying’ (male pretending to be female) shooter apparently posted a lengthy video manifesto to YouTube shortly before the attack began. While that video has already been removed, some in the X community have archived the vid and are sharing screen-caps. It’s been described as ‘blood curdling.’ I’m sure his name as well as the video will leak in the next few hours, or sooner.

thanks
Any indicator of why this target was chosen?
It turns out the shooter grew up/still lives in a home nearby. His mother used to teach at the school for some period of time. It’s currently unclear if he was ever a student at the school.
Any info on how many of those are wounded but alive?
3 dead including the shooter
The link above says 3 people are dead, including the shooter. Then it says 20 victims injured.
Given the number of trans confused mental health suffering leftists we have had in recently history there’s a good chance this is yet another Democrat incited shooting.
Well it seems I was right!!
Shooter killed himself. So, it’s unlikely – very unlikely – it’s some kind of Jihadist. Shooter was reportedly dressed in ‘all-black,’ which probably means ‘workplace violence’ is scratched off the list; people who go postal tend not to get into costume, although that NFL shooter last month did seem to cosplay to some degree. The shooter was also described as a ‘man,’ which makes ‘student’ seem far less likely considering it’s a K-8 school. That leaves disaffected youth/young man, maybe a former student or maybe someone who saw it as a target of low resistance. But, the chances that the assailant was someone who was previously known to be psychologically impaired/troubled by family, friends, colleagues or even school administrators/teachers very, very high. Societally, we just don’t know what to do with crazy young men. It’s literally killing us.
could be b/c cray women are allowed by law to mu rder and receive lighter sentencing ,,if at all, when committing crimes men would be given heavier sentences
Had a long black beard
Apparently there was a first Catholic school shooting in MN yesterday, one killed and the monster got away
Probably the same person
We do know what to do with crazy young men.
We are just refusing to do it.
Yes, exactly.
The Minneapolis shooter’s name is reported to be Robin Westman.
Certainly a usual suspect. Part of intersectionality of evil: whether musselman or trans-insane or blm/antifer or fascist or commie or satanic or an old-fashioned less ideological insane dude, local authorities will still say: ‘ we are baffled as to motive’
any dem “sympathy” should be treated with the well founded knowledge of
taqiyya,
Existing federal law allows federal authorities to assert jurisdictional/investigative control over shootings at schools and/or churches even though that is seldom exercised. Bondi should do that in this instance because absent that happening, we’re never going to learn the ‘why’ here, particularly if it’s not helpful to Democrats. Look at the laughable transparency from the Covenant School shooting.
They shot up a church. During a school mass. The school is ancillary to the church, not the other way around.
Yes, excellent point and it amplifies something I said just above. The Feds DO have a history of taking over the investigation of any acts of violence against churches. This was an attack literally against congregants of a church sitting in their pews during mass. It screams for federal participation.
School shootings are ratings winners, which is why we have school shootings. Nobody can resist covering it (Clay and Buck lead off with it and are still talking about it at 12:15). First noticed with Columbine.
The deranged wanting to do something “important” copy the news event, and the coverage copies all the previous news events, and here we are.
What does the news claim to know that you don’t know? It claims to know what is important.
Clearly not just a deranged ideological school shooting but a targeted attack on Christians and by extension an attack on belief in the Almighty.
Nevertheless the solution is stop covering it.
But it’s a ratings winner, and it’s a ratings winner because it’s entertainment.
The dopamine hit from being outraged, is why it’s entertainment.
Go along with it or not, as a matter of policy, but that’s what it is.
your call for self censorship should start with you leading the way
My point would be that it’s not important. It feeds into the clickbait industry, is all.
Clay and Buck are still covering it (12:45).
Be less of a sucker for news.
Google says that 3 children 14 and under die every day in traffic accidents. Surely that’s just as important, since the death toll is 2 at the moment, fewer than 3. And that would be coverage every day, taking up at least the first hour of Buck and Clay, which is where I’m enduring it now.
Everybody would tune out. On outrage, no entertainment.
I caught the end of Clay and Buck and they were still on it after three hours, and promising “more on this tomorrow.”
You don’t get ratings winners better than that.
David Codrea rightly points out that one negative side effect of the “give them no coverage” strategy is that the history censors (the people who wipe out killers’ digital footprints) always win the race, and then EVERY incident becomes another suppressed Covenant.
I can’t remember when someone entered a mosque in the US and started a gunfight but there are numerous examples of churches and synagogues. Minneapolis has a very strong Muslim population as well as crazed leftist population. Might be a link in there somewhere but I’m not Sherlock Holmes
Maybe because Muslims aren’t stupid enough to make their mosques gun-free zones. I understand a fair number of them are actually armories.
Clay and Buck wanted to talk about the value of concealed carry in school shootings but couldn’t quite see how it would apply here. They spent a half hour wanting to talk about it though.
Everybody’s got a hobby horse hook into this ratings winner to hook on to.
You think that every news source should not cover mass shootings which is, you know, news? Even for you that is a stupid take.
News is a business. It organizes anxiety. Then it runs features to tell you how to live with the anxiety it generates, in the absence of a new anxiety for the day.
Then there is life. Life is completely different.
You can be a sucker for this (they sell your eyeballs to advertisers) or not.
It’s not entirely stupid, just oriented on the wrong end of the equation.
The only way to achieve the “infamy doesn’t equal fame” state is to change the hearts of the people who take in the news. They have to say, “Thank you for informing us. Now lay off until there’s something new that’s newsworthy.”
When you attack the reporting of the news, it can only result in a propaganda machine that just reports kittens saved from trees and the quilting bee at the local VFW.
For the news end, it might help to not hire drama queens. But I don’t know how you do that, honestly.
Usual formula is that you report the event, because it’s news, but you don’t report the name of the perpetrator, in order to deny him the notoriety he craves. It’s an attractive premise but comes with a few negatives. One is that it lets the cleanup squad erase his digital footprint and feed the public whatever narrative they choose. The other is that in more than half these cases, the perp kills himself or is killed by police, so any punishment doled out by the denial of notoriety is wasted.
It’s not the notoriety they want, it’s the “importance,” importance being decided by being in the news.
Child traffic deaths are more important by death count, but have no news attraction unless it’s in a school bus. Then it’s in the news again.
Entertainment value.
THIS IS THE 4TH MULTIVICTIM SHOOTING IN MINN IN LESS THAN 24 hours
This is the fourth multiple-victim shooting in Minneapolis within less than 24 hours, NBC News points out:
I saw a comment on X taken from a local news broadcast where the on-scene reporter said (on camera) that response was sluggish because they were so busy overnight with other shootings. There were witnesses who also said that the shooting went on for a ‘surprising’ amount of time before police arrived.
FWIW…
https://x.com/KyleSeraphin/status/1960730841866223961
…I’m certain this won’t be a surprise to anyone here, if it turns out to be true.
Guess I will check powerline for local views
The place to go along with Alpha News for all things Minnesota especially Minneapolis
“didnt have a record”
maybe maybe not
if he had a record it makes the courts /da look bad
they drop charges all the time against criminals
shot himself
maybe maybe not
if he “shoots himself”
then cops cant be attacked by lefty as heros
if he “shoots himself”
then guilt feelings for the officer can be nullified
paperwork etc all gone
the “community” cant attack police for stopping one of theirs
foxnews guest trey gawdy going on about the legal owning of weapons by citizens b/c of another shooting,,”needs to be looked at”
When the Jihadist used a Ford F-150 Lightening to mow down partygoers in New Orleans during New Years, did anyone say, “we really need to look at people owning these powerful, mostly silent electric pickup trucks?’
No, they didn’t. Gowdy is the worst. Total fraud.
agree
lefty narrative must be allowed and then soundly defeated with common sense
What happened during New Years was a complete security failure of the NOPD. They take greater security during Mardi Gras every year, so it was absolutely shocking when I saw what LITTLE they actually did to restrict traffic during that time.
if you are not true maga
then the criminals are your friends and/or relatives
so the priorities change from truly trying to protect ( and yes,,some sh will still happen)
to maybe making a pr move so it looks like you are justifying your job
Australian state of Victoria has banned machete, effective September 1, 2025,
The mere possession of a machete, without obtaining a valid exemption ahead of time, can land you in prison for two years.
Furthermore, police are allowed to have random searches without a warrant.
https://www.premier.vic.gov.au/first-machete-ban-australia
Flood the country with felons, so the police state can use the “felons’ veto” to destroy citizens’ rights.
Twice as many Americans are killed by someone using their bare hands than are killed by someone using a rifle. Five or six times as many are killed by someone using a knife. Then there are cars, base ball bats, golf clubs, and arsonists.
What evil. The cowardice of shooting children. Innocent and unaware of danger, cannot be overstated. The shooter was scum.
Let’s do what the left does.
So, pick your favorite group and blame it on them. The left is already saying it was a deranged white conservative.
Temu Obama already blathered about “weapons of war” without knowing nothing about what firearms were used.
Well, we kind of already are. If I believe the comments here, the shooter was a trans (fake) female with long red hair and a long black (Muslim?) beard.
I think I’ll exercise the 48-hour rule before making any important conclusions.
Before anyone gets too far out over their skis I suggest invoking the Bongino Rule.
““I’m horrified by the shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis and closely monitoring the situation,” Schumer wrote on X . “I’m thankful for the first responders on the scene. Students and teachers should not be putting their lives on the line just by going back to school. We must do more to stop gun violence in America.””
If I remember correctly DJT sent the National Guard to D.C. and they have gone almost two weeks without a murder. A move that angered Schumer.
“We must do more to stop gun violence in America”
Democrats should start by relocating your conventions in Somalia.
local governments have the ability to take the mentally ill off the street …the homeless
but lefty has the hold of the narrative as this would somehow be a violation of their rights
bs
a person sleeping outside is breaking the law
2024 U.S. Supreme Court decision in City of Grants Pass v. Johnson. The Supreme Court ruled that punishing individuals with fines or jail time for violating public camping bans does not constitute cruel and unusual punishment, even if local shelters are full. This decision gives local governments broader authority to enforce anti-camping ordinances regardless of shelter availability.
same with the mentally ill
WHERE IS THE DEMS MONEY TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR PEOPLE??!!??
why isnt the gop using that legit pr against the left who claims they love these people!!!??!?!?!
Shooter identified as ‘Robin Westman,’ a biological male pretending to be a woman. He hates Trump & Jesus…and children. So, your typical trans weirdo.
https://x.com/theblaze/status/1960745439369802079
Oh boy, this shooter hit the idiot jackpot. Not only is he trans, hates Trump and Children, he’s apparently also a Jew-hater, surprise, surprise. On one of his magazines, he wrote; ‘Six million wasn’t enough,’ presumably in reference to the 6-million Jews murdered in the Holocaust.
https://x.com/RealSaavedra/status/1960745697571168572
When are we finally going to have a ‘national conversation’ about the danger of trans intersectionality?
Those folks need to state the provenance of their photos.
dnc voter rolls?
Sorry, I should have made that more clear. I talk about it in a different post. The shooter’s name is Robin Westman. He posted a video on his YouTube account (‘R Westman’, I believe) which was discovered after his name leaked. The entire channel has since been deleted by YouTube. Fortunately, that video (there may have been two, but I’ve only seen one) was archived by many including by producers from The Blaze as well as other right-of-center news outlets and bloggers. The photos you’re seeing in some of these posts are actually screen grabs from those two videos. The one I’ve seen is absolutely ghoulish.
Also, Robert was his birth name. At some point, he changed it to ‘Robin.’ He grew up near the school and his mother was once a teacher there.
https://x.com/lizcollin/status/1960757813728473129
Robin Westman legally changed name from Robert Westman as a minor in 2020. Application said the then-teen “identifies as a female and wants her [sic] name to reflect that identification.”
https://x.com/peterjhasson/status/1960758053625627109
You’re fine. I actually meant the person posting on X. Just state (and not assume someone has read your whole thread) “These pics are from the manifesto he posted on youTube.”
And, thank you for the links to X.
This is my shocked face…
Look quick.
I can’t imagine how the families feel right now. I hope they’re able to recover and find some sort of peace. Not sure I’d be able to do.
They have a pretty powerful peace giver to lean on.
This will be memory holed in 48 hours or less on MSM.
dnc to send out the message :
pls..fellow leftists
if you are going to “Do the job” wash away your social media accounts or lie about who you are and what your agenda is
Evidently, he was a tr@nny, which is a far worse “history”.
All of the mass shooters over the past couple of years have been tr@nnies. It’s almost a surety, these days. And they have a particular thing about going after young children, which is the sickest of all.
Any official who suppresses this information has to be considered an accessory after the fact. It’s time that society confronts this dangerous lunacy.
The horror of this tragedy is beyond description. My wife and I both attended Catholic schools and met at a Catholic college. My kids all went to Catholic schools and we’ve attended dozens of Masses for the new school year. So, I’ve been seated in a pew just like those kids were this morning, both as a child and a parent. This story hits me particularly hard.
No way to tell if the shooter had any previous run ins with law enforcement due to the fact that the crime numbers in blue states and cities are usually tweaked or underreported.
FoxNews: “anything about why this suspect used the two names, Robert and Robin? Can you glean anything from that?”
Seriously, that’s what reporting on FoxNews looks like, right now.
Unreal.
Fox finally got the name change document and acknowledged that it was a trans … and then didn’t say another word about it, as if it was just ancillary coincidental information …
It’s been absolutely fascinating to watch every cable news program, including Fox News, continue to refer to the assailant as a ‘him’ even though he clearly identified as a ‘woman,’ going so far as to change his legal name in 2020 from Robert to Robin.
They did the same thing with old Audrey, going as far as actually arguing on-air with each other about the sex of the shooter, whereas if the obvious conclusion had been a snake, it wooda bittem.
Although it has been assumed that Lachlan is more conservative than his siblings, it was reported that he did not support Trump’s presidency, and kept toilet paper printed with his face in his house during the 2016 campaign. However, he has backed his father’s moves in business, including defending Tucker Carlson when he was on the rise.[4]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lachlan_Murdoch
In February 2023, Lachlan and his wife Sarah Murdoch gave A$1 million to a queer museum in Sydney called Qtopia, although protests outside the museum opening accused the Murdochs of ‘pinkwashing’ decades of vilifying the queer community[89][90][91]
Trans are some sick sick people
I just had a 6’5 skinny trans man with high pigtails to deal with at Amazon
I’ve had to deal with them in the medical field, they generally held it together because at the time they were an extreme minority without a vocal base
Now they are vocal and evil monsters with political, financial backing
What they want, they can’t get… at all levels. Forcing others to conform to the unconformable. It’s a disease… treating it as “normal” doesn’t help anyone.
Tim Walz should resign. He provides too much cover and stokes too much hate.
the left spewing forth their hardly veiled message about guns being the problem when in fact the left
WANTS THESE GUNS PURCHASED LEGALLY ( lets say thts true)
AS ONCE AGAIN THEIR GAME IS TO SAY
YOU SEE,, we have allowed all these guns to be purchased legally now its time to take that right away
instead of course of handling the fact that the left has failed their people who by and large are the peps in almost all violent crime(s)
why do they take down the facts>>manifesto???
they act like they cant do an investigation if the public has knowledge of the criminals thinking
They don’t want potential jury members’ minds to have been influenced by public facts that some black robe later deems inconvenient for them to know.
The Minneapolis shooting incidents in three different locations took the lives of 3 and 8 people were injured in a few hours on Tuesday, August 27, 2025.
The violence began on Tuesday afternoon with a mass shooting near Cristo Rey Jesuit High School that killed one person and injured six others using a high-velocity .223 rifle.
Will the Left call it out as “her”? or a male?
if they wont admit its a female then they are admitting that trans men >>stay men…dont care about how much “time” they have been tranzing
the shooter is a clear blmplo sista/brother
pos jacob frey out there spewing “threats” towards anyone who is against trans
Could transphobia be the ultimate cause of this unfortunate circumstance? Just asking for Rachel Maddow.
