From the Daily Wire:

The man who shot and killed two Catholic children and injured 17 other people at a Minneapolis Catholic school has been identified by authorities as “Robin Westman,” a transgender-identifying 23-year-old who posted radical videos in the hour before his attack.

This individual identified as a woman and changed his name from Robert Westman to Robin Westman in 2020, as The Washington Free Beacon’s Peter Hassan reported. Court filings show that Westman’s mother signed off on the name change, since her son was a minor, and the documents state that Westman “identifies as a female and wants her name to reflect that identification.”

At around 8:30 AM yesterday, Westman fired through the windows of the Annunciation Catholic School’s church. He ended up killing two children, ages 8 and 10, and injuring 17 others before he took his own life in the parking lot.

Information trickled out yesterday as police and reporters learned more and more about the shooter. While Westman’s specific motive remains unclear, his attack does appear to have been ideologically motivated. The Daily Wire shared a video posted the morning of the attack, in which Westman flips through a notebook, whispering to himself and giggling all the while, before branding a firearm and finally saying, “it’s all over.” You can click here to watch the video, but be warned: it is exactly as disturbing as it sounds.

By Wednesday afternoon, FBI Director Kash Patel had confirmed that the FBI was investigating the shooting as “an act of domestic terrorism and hate crime targeting Catholics,” according to the Daily Wire.

Many will find this story familiar. It is certainly reminiscent of the March 2023 Covenant School Shooting, in which a transgender individual killed six people, three children and three staff members, in Nashville, Tennessee, before taking her own life. It does not seem to be a coincidence that both shooters identified as transgender and attacked Christian schools.

More information will likely come out over the next few days and weeks, especially as the Trump FBI investigates. For now, however, let’s pray. Let’s ask God to bless and comfort those affected by this attack and let’s pray for an end to anti-Christian hate and violence in our nation.

It is also being reported that in that same city the day before, a gunman took shots at a group outside of a high school, killing one and injuring 6. The two incidents suggest that principalities may have been assigned in this city to carry out the murders of children using the warped and confused minds and spirits of “trans” people. We speak to that homicidal spirit and bind their plans to execute any future assignments In the Name of Jesus. Instead, we lose the Holy Spirit to bring about a hunger for reformation, revival, and righteousness where students, from elementary to college will seek a relationship with Jesus and walk in their true identity. Thank you, Father, for the opportunity to intercede and supplicate on behalf of Minneapolis, MN and its citizens. Amen.

Lord, I pray for Minnesota and Minneapolis to be reformed by your Spirit. It has become a cesspool of Wokism and where God is removed, Satan fills the gap. Transgender surgery and drugs leads to intense confusion and self hatred that opens a door to demons. Trans is a Crime against Humanity and should be unlawful. We Christians must teach our children Psalm 91 which is an ironclad promise of supernatural protection which God has proven true to me in many dangerous places, including war zones. We also need to walk in our authority to cast out demons in the Mighty Name of Jesus. Lord I pray this cowardly attack is answered by your divine Justice and a massive wave of Your Holy Spirit in Minnesota. Jesus is Lord🔥🇺🇸

Antifa needs to be classified as a terrorist organization. This Transtifa violence can be prevented. Law enforcement has been neglecting this far too long.

We pray fervently against this demonic aggression and evil.

It is time to recognize the demonic roots of sexual perversion, and the perversion of our identity as image-bearers of YHVH. It is evident, and yet even those who claim to know Yeshua seem oblivious to the fact. If we do not take seriously the need to minister in the power and compassion of Yeshua to deliver the demonized, then we will continue to see this spiral downward into blatant evil. Those who tolerate sin in any degree, will progress (consider its current definition) into sin of greater and greater degrees. This destructive cycle must be broken. Torahlessness results in the curses pronounced in Deuteronomy on those who disobey Torah.
YHVH, may Your people quit arguing about deliverance ministry and just start doing it. There are plenty of demoniacs to go around! May Your people themselves seek to be delivered, if need be. You desire to provide salvation to the uttermost, and it is for freedom that You have set us free! May we not stop short of that goal.
Please minister to the families effected by this satanic attack. May they know Your comfort and compassion. Minister to the children who have been traumatized, and deliver them from fear. Use even this, Lord, for good, even though it was meant for evil and it was evil. Snatch victory from the jaws of defeat!

His mother should be accountable too. Who are these parents that let and approve transgenderism in their children. Do they do it for attention. 😢
So many stories from people that have been transgenderized and then are so sorry they have done it, and turn back. It shouldn’t of been done in the first place. 😢

    Agreed, Diana. His mother signed her approval of his “transing” into a girl when he was as young as seventeen, maybe even younger. She posted photos of him in a woman’s wig on her Facebook page.

    This is just child abuse. No wonder he grew up mentally unbalanced and raging.

    She is definitely culpable in his crimes.

      Oh, and I wanted to add, I was so amazed by the courageous action of the youngsters at this mass. Some of the older children shielded the younger children by laying on top of them and covering their bodies. One youngster told news reports that his friend Victor was shot in the back when he laid on top of him to shield him. Victor was transported to the hospital.

      These wonderful mothers and fathers raised heroic, courageous, loving children who were willing to sacrifice to save their younger classmates.

      That’s AMAZING parenting! God bless all these loving families.
