US: Transgender Perpetrator in Minneapolis Shooting Wrote Anti-Semitic Slogans on Weapons

A 23-year-old transgender perpetrator, Robin Westman, opened fire at a Catholic school in Minneapolis, killing two people and injuring 17. Before the attack, Westman had written a manifesto with anti-Semitic content.

According to The Post, Westman wrote slogans such as "Free Palestine" in a diary using the Cyrillic alphabet. He also wrote "6 million was not enough" on ammunition magazines and "Where is your God?" on one of the weapons.

In another message, he wrote "Destroy HIAS," referring to the Jewish refugee aid group. According to translated posts in his diary, the perpetrator considered assassinating President Trump and Jews, but concluded that killing "children of innocent citizens" would bring him "the greatest joy."

The FBI is investigating the mass murder as an act of domestic terrorism and as a hate crime against Catholics. Westman's mother worked at Annunciation Catholic School from 2016 to 2021.

Westman died from a self-inflicted injury.
