At least two children, aged 8 and 10, were killed and 17 others injured in a mass shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis on Wednesday. Police said the gunman, armed with a rifle, shotgun, and pistol, fired dozens of rounds through the windows of Annunciation Catholic Church during Mass before taking his own life.

While officials have not confirmed the suspect’s identity, multiple outlets, including the New York Post, identified him as Robin Westman, citing sources. Videos allegedly uploaded by the suspect before the attack show weapons, disturbing messages, and apparent admiration for other mass shooters. Hindustan Times has not independently verified these materials and is withholding the footage.

President Donald Trump said he had been fully briefed and assured that the FBI and federal authorities are monitoring the situation closely.
