MINNEAPOLIS, MN (MNN) – Minneapolis police have identified the suspect in Wednesday’s shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in south Minneapolis.
Police say 23-year-old Robin Westman, formerly Robert Westman, from suburban Minneapolis opened fire while the children were attending mass.
Police say Westman’s mother previously worked at the school and is now retired.
Police say Westman had three guns and fired from the outside of the building through windows into the church. Two children, ages eight and ten, were killed. Seventeen others were injured. They include fourteen children and three parishioners in their 80’s.
Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara says Westman has no extensive criminal history and died from a self-inflicted gunshot.
