<p>The mother of the 23-year-old trans-identifying gunman who opened fire at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis on Wednesday morning worked at the school and church, according to local Twin Cities station <a href="https://www.kare11.com/video/news/local/multiple-sources-confirm-identity-of-shooter/89-ba7ef08a-15bd-4098-a380-29da7cc0a7ab">KARE 11</a>.</p>
<p>The shooter was identified as Robin Westman, who previously went by Robert Westman. Law enforcement sources told KARE 11 that his mother worked at either Annunciation Catholic School or the church, which is right next to the school. It&#8217;s unclear what position Westman&#8217;s mother, Mary Grace Westman, held. The New York Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/08/27/us-news/mom-of-minneapolis-mass-shooter-robin-westman-worked-at-catholic-school-where-he-opened-fire-killing-2-kids-police/">reported</a> that the church celebrated Mary Grace Westman&#8217;s five years of employment in a 2021 Facebook post.</p>
<p>Robert Westman reportedly changed his name to Robin in 2020 when he was still a minor, a change that required his mother&#8217;s signature, according to a Minnesota government document <a href="https://x.com/peterjhasson/status/1960758053625627109">shared</a> on social media by Washington Free Beacon Editor Peter J. Hasson. Westman changed his name because he &#8220;identifies as a female and wants her name to reflect that identification,&#8221; the application stated.</p>
<p>The shooter fired through the Catholic church&#8217;s stained glass windows when students and staff were gathered in the building for school Mass. Two children, ages 8 and 10, were killed in the shooting, and 17 other people — including 14 children — were wounded, according to police. The gunman was found dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.</p>
<p>The gunman arrived at the school on Wednesday morning with three guns: a rifle, a shotgun, and a pistol. Police believe that the shooter fired all three guns, targeting children with &#8220;dozens of rounds,&#8221; according to Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O&#8217;Hara. The attacker attempted to barricade students and staff inside the building before opening fire, placing wooden planks over the side doors where victims could have attempted to flee.</p>
<p>YouTube videos <a href="https://x.com/peterjhasson/status/1960743920746242064">posted</a> Wednesday morning under an account <a href="https://x.com/greg_price11/status/1960744916235248094">reportedly</a> connected to Westman showed disturbing messages written on weapons, such as &#8220;Where is your God?&#8221; &#8220;Kill Donald Trump,&#8221; &#8220;I&#8217;m the woker, baby,&#8221; and &#8220;Why so Queerious?&#8221; One video also showed a target with a picture of the crucified Jesus attached to it.</p>
<p>In one <a href="https://x.com/MaryMargOlohan/status/1960763491402297416">video</a> obtained by The Daily Wire&#8217;s Mary Margaret Olohan, the recorder is heard saying, &#8220;I can&#8217;t deal with this anymore&#8230;I can&#8217;t do this anymore&#8230;I have to go, I have to go&#8230;&#8221; before adding, &#8220;I&#8217;m all packed up &#8230; I don&#8217;t know what else to say. It&#8217;s over. It&#8217;s over. It&#8217;s all over.&#8221;</p>
