A video in which he called to 'kill Donald Trump' and expressed admiration for murderers was uploaded by 23-year-old Robin Westman, the perpetrator of the deadly attack on a church in Minneapolis, hours before the massacre.

Westman opened fire on students at a Catholic school, resulting in the deaths of two children, ages eight and ten, and the injury of 17 more people. He had three weapons with him and was shooting from outside the church inwards.

In a 20-minute video, Westman flips through a handwritten diary, where he imagines himself as a 'terrifying monster' and confesses his admiration for murderers. Another video showed weapons with phrases like 'for the children' and 'kill Donald Trump' written on the magazines.

In his diary, Westman described his decision to target the Annunciation church, where his mother worked. He also expressed admiration for Adam Lanza, perpetrator of the Sandy Hook attack.
