Minneapolis Catholic School Attack: 2 Children Killed, 17 Injured; Public Outrage Against Transgender Community Erupts on Social Media.
SNPNEWS.IN Update: On August 27, 2025, a horrific shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis resulted in the deaths of two children (aged 8 and 10) and injured 17 others. According to reports, the attacker, 23-year-old Robin Westman, took their own life following the incident.
In the aftermath, social media has seen a surge of hate-filled posts targeting the transgender community. Rumors claim that the suspect, Robin Westman, was transgender, leading to accusations that all transgender individuals are dangerously delusional, mentally ill, and that doctors are legally prevented from confirming their mental illness in any way.
Authorities have classified the incident as domestic terrorism targeting Catholics, citing a manifesto and hate-driven motives.
FBI Director Kash Patel confirmed the attack, stating, “We have learned of reports of a shooting at a Catholic school in Minnesota. FBI agents are on the scene, and we request that everyone include potential victims, civilians, and law enforcement in their prayers.
“Governor Tim Walz called the event tragic and ordered state flags to be flown at half-mast amid national debates on gun violence and mental health.
President Donald J. Trump directed that all U.S. flags at the White House and public buildings and grounds be flown at half-mast until August 31 in honor of the victims of the violence in Minneapolis on August 27.
