(TJV NEWS) Two children were murdered and 17 others wounded Wednesday morning when a gunman opened fire through the stained-glass windows of Annunciation Catholic Church in Minneapolis during a school Mass, police confirmed.

According to Breitbart News, the shooting began just before 8:30 a.m. during a back-to-school Mass attended by children. Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara said the gunman, later identified as 22-year-old Robin Westman, opened fire with a rifle, shotgun, and handgun directly toward children sitting in pews. An eight-year-old and a ten-year-old were killed instantly.

The attack ended when Westman turned one of his weapons on himself, dying at the scene, authorities confirmed at a press conference. Mayor Jacob Frey called the rampage “an act of evil that should never happen,” Breitbart reported.

Shooter’s Motive Linked to Anti-Trump Messaging

Exclusive reporting by the New York Post revealed disturbing details about Westman’s state of mind. Investigators are reviewing a series of YouTube videos allegedly posted by the gunman hours before the massacre. In those clips, weapons and ammunition magazines are shown with handwritten messages including “Kill Donald Trump” and “For the Children.”

The Post also reported that the videos contained a red notebook with cryptic writings, drawings, and diagrams of firearms. Other clips appeared to glorify past mass shooters, including Sandy Hook killer Adam Lanza. Police sources told the Post that Westman’s social media footprint suggested a fixation on mass violence and political hatred, particularly toward  President Donald Trump.

Law enforcement has not publicly confirmed a clear motive, but the presence of anti-Trump slogans on Westman’s weapons is being investigated as a possible political or ideological factor.

Alternative Media Raises Questions About Shooter’s Identity

While mainstream outlets have focused on the political writings and violent online videos, Infowars and independent journalists have raised another controversial claim. According to Alex Jones and Infowars reporting, citing alleged FBI whistleblowers, Westman may have identified as transgender.

Note: Infowars sometimes is completely wrong in their reporting; however, this looks very strong, and a cover-up of this information seems to be happening.

On-air, Jones claimed FBI sources told him the shooter was a “trans-identified male,” while former FBI agent Kyle Seraphin posted on X (formerly Twitter) that federal officials had confirmed the same privately. Seraphin also circulated an alleged ID photo, describing Westman as a white male under 30 with long reddish hair.

Numerous users on X shared screenshots of the suspect’s alleged YouTube videos, including a manifesto where he stabbed a sketch of a church with a knife, saying “where I kill myself.” Some claimed these videos, along with older social media posts, suggested Westman’s transgender identity was being quietly downplayed or scrubbed from online platforms.

He wrote:
There is more to this Church school shooting than just being trans. As you can see in the photo stills from the YouTube video that was taken down, the shooter had written “Mashallah,” which is an Arabic, Islamic term from the Quran meaning “what God has willed,” along with antisemitic statements such as “Israel must fall” and “6 million wasn’t enough.” Will we get factual answers about the true motives of this sick, evil demon?

As Infowars and other independent outlets speculated, the shooter’s possible trans identification may be deliberately underreported by corporate media, either to avoid controversy or to downplay a politically sensitive narrative.

At this stage, law enforcement has not confirmed those claims. The official police account identifies the suspect only as Robin Westman, age 22, deceased at the scene. What is confirmed, as reported by Breitbart, the New York Post, and other outlets, is that two young children are dead, 17 others injured, and a community devastated by a mass shooting that is still under active investigation.
