MINNEAPOLIS (TNND) — The suspect who shot and killed two children and hurt at least 17 others as they attended mass during the first week of school in Minnesota was identified as a 22 year-old man claiming to be transgender, according to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara said the suspect -- who was later named as Robin Westman -- was found dead in the back of the church parking lot from what authorities believe is a self-inflicted gunshot wound on Wednesday morning.

The coward who fired these shots ultimately took his own life," O'Hara said at a news conference, adding that authorities believe he was the sole shooter who didn't have a known criminal history with police. "We are looking through information left behind to try and determine some type of motive.

Noem described the shooter as a "degrand monster."

This deranged monster targeted our most vulnerable: young children praying in their first morning Mass of the school year. This deeply sick murderer scrawled the words ‘For the Children’ and ‘Where is your God?’ and ‘Kill Donald Trump’ on a rifle magazine," Noem wrote on X.

This level of violence is unthinkable. Our deepest prayers are with the children, parents, families, educators, and Christians everywhere. We mourn with them, we pray for healing, and we will never forget them," she added.

Citing unnamed sources, The New York Post said a 20-minute YouTube video and manifesto that was shared hours before the shooting was connected to Westman.

Hard to watch that without believing there is a devil.

Kind of hard to watch the CNN coverage without the same reaction.

The YouTube ‘manifesto’ is over on X. Someone snatched it before they took it down.

In this case, the bloggers and streamers were faster than the censors!

I had a conversation with someone once, don't remember how it got to this point, but she looked at me in anger and said, "My daughter is trans!"

(I know her daughter, she's a "big girl.")

So I just said, "Does that make her your daughter or your son?"

Dumbfounded, she stormed away, and hasn't spoken to me since.

** Robin Westman — was found dead in the back of the church parking lot from what authorities believe is a self-inflicted gunshot wound***

Reminds me of 1988 when a real ad AW ban bill was shelved in California.
NEVER let a crisis go to waste, and if you don’t have one, CREATE ONE!
The state then released Pat Purdy from a mental institution, allowed him to buy a rifle and handgun in VIOLATION of State and Federal laws, even passing the waiting period there.
He then went, in 1989, and shot up the Stockton School yard killing several students and himself.
The shelved bill was pulled out and passed before opposition could be mounted against it.
