- On the morning of Wednesday, August 27, 2025, 23-year-old Robin Westman opened fire during a morning Mass at a Catholic church and adjacent school in Minneapolis, resulting in the deaths of two children and injuries to 17 others.
- Westman, who graduated from Annunciation Catholic School in 2017 and had no criminal history, posted a 20-minute manifesto and videos on YouTube hours before the attack.
- Witnesses said Westman shot through stained-glass windows during morning prayers and tried to barricade doors to trap worshippers, while victims hid under pews before evacuating.
- Police found weapons and magazines inscribed with antisemitic slogans and names of mass shooters including Adam Lanza, whom Westman admired, and FBI is investigating the shooting as domestic terrorism.
- Authorities are continuing to examine Westman’s motives based on his manifesto and videos; most of the injured are anticipated to recover, and Westman died at the scene from a gunshot wound he inflicted on himself.
