Update 1: (Sorry, no photos, DM sucks ass.)

At least 20 people are feared to have been gunned down after an active shooter stormed a Catholic church in Minneapolis as the parish school was holding its start-of-year mass.

The shooter stormed Annunciation Catholic Church on 54th Street around 8:30am local time. A Catholic grade school is connected to the church.

Preliminary reports indicate that at least four people are injured in the mass shoot, although authorities have not yet confirmed the number of victims.

Multiple children have been taken to a nearby hospital, law enforcement sources told KARE. It is unclear how exactly how many children have been hurt.

Minnesota state troopers, local police, FBI agents, paramedics and a large number of ambulances are currently at the scene.

'I’ve been briefed on a shooting at Annunciation Catholic School and will continue to provide updates as we get more information,' Governor Tim Walz said.

'The BCA and State Patrol are on scene. I’m praying for our kids and teachers whose first week of school was marred by this horrific act of violence.'

Officials at Annunciation Catholic School told Daily Mail that 'now is not the time to be answering your questions'.

It is unclear if the gunman has been apprehended. Daily Mail has approached the church and local police for further information.

Witnesses claim a man dressed in all black and armed with a rifle was spotted on the church grounds, though these reports have not yet been verified by police.

Parents have gathered near the church as they desperately seek answers about the welfare of their children.

'I'm monitoring reports of horrific violence in South Minneapolis. I'm in touch with Chief O'Hara and our emergency response team has been activated,' Mayor Jacob Frey said.

'We will share more information as soon as we can. Please give our officers the space they need to respond to the situation.'

Apologies in advance, i'm a lifelong lurker and this is my first post here.

From skimming through this thread, it becomes very obvious the guy was just a incel-to-trans pipeline social and mental fuck up freak with nothing going on or to look forward to who did too much computer. Nothing about all of this points to some crazy O9A grooming or social justice revenge plot or whatever.

Oversharing warning, as an israeli-russian terminally online zoomer NEET that is trying to actually get his shit together, this guy is pretty fascinating to me, he is like a pathetic mirror for me to look at in terms of what my life could look if i had low test\was molested\was a subhuman and lived in america or something. From the shitty google translate russian to the attention whoring indie game voice-over "manifesto", to the online spaces he was engaging in and the desperate clinging on to any form of extremist/radical "identity", its so easy to see that he wanted a place to belong in and people to love him and he had neither, almost exclusively due to his own shortcomings.
The way he keeps emphasizing that his family had nothing to do with any of this is really all the proof i need to know this comes down to (self-admitted) misanthropy, mixed with a genetic predisposition to mental illness, low impulse control and neurodivergence, rotting away in a discord server and growing toxic demonic mold.

Somewhere around covid, i was in a certain crossroads in my life, and the bloomer part in late bloomer started kicking in, I was going around trying a bunch of stuff from dating, to going to and organizing parties, to going heavy on the screen time in the areas of the internet that i was always drawn to as a kid. Around that time the whole hyperborea edits were going around and i went down an insane rabbit-hole for a zoomer israeli to go down, (to the point where i'm 100% positive that i'm (understandably) on some list, and that my digital footprint or more is being monitored, especially considering the current political climate and the events that have happened since).
This rabbit-hole took me from Europa the last battle, to actually subbing to the MDE paywall (still am), to tranny music algos and watching hasan piker streams unironically, i really blossomed mentally by going around this digital weimer wild west and i feel like i acquired a very peculiar patina when it comes to online radicalization.
I feel like the same way blacks are prone to violence, asians are prone to bullying, and western euros are prone to being masochistic, there is a trans-racial, borderless, international demographic of people who hit this sweet spot of being:
1. Smart enough to overthink.
2. Are prone to mental illnesses, and to not be able to properly control their inhibitions (BPD, depression, drug abuse, seeking constant excitement)
3. Are GENUINELY lonely, NOT in a "i'm ugly i cant get pussy" way. They are lonely in the sense that, their parents are immigrants that dont carry over their culture from their homeland, and have nothing to relate to in the country they live in so the kid has no identity, and on top of that they are ugly, weird, retarded in some strange way, or just overly-sensitive know-it-alls. They grow up with no sense of self.
You will never be a real Russian. You have no patronymic, you have no Slavic blood, you have no Orthodox faith. You are an American transvestite twisted by communism and third-worldism into a crude mockery of Бог's perfection.
All the "validation" you get is two-faced and half-hearted. Behind your back people mock you. Your parents are disgusted and ashamed of you, your "комрадэс" laugh at your ghoulish appearance behind closed doors.
Russians are utterly repulsed by you. Decades of cold war have allowed Russians to sniff out CIA infiltrators with incredible efficiency. Even westoids who "pass" look uncanny and unnatural to a Russian. Your transliterated English is a dead giveaway. And even if you manage to get an illiterate Russian home with you, he'll turn tail and bolt the second he gets a whiff of your first-world degeneracy.
You will never be happy. You wrench out a fake smile every single morning and tell yourself it’s going to be ok, but deep inside you feel the depression creeping up like a weed, ready to crush you under the unbearable weight.
Eventually it'll be too much to bear - you'll shoot up a Catholic school like the misanthropic faggot you are. Your parents will find you, horrified but relieved that they no longer have to live with the unbearable shame and disappointment. They'll bury you with a headstone in your hometown, and every passerby for the rest of eternity will know a Westerner is buried there. Your body will decay and go back to the dust, and all that will remain of your legacy is a skeleton that is unmistakably Germano-Semitic.
This is your fate. This is what you chose. There is no turning back.

These people can range from """gifted-child""" schizo jew russian single mom israeli kid like me, to that black retard shooter, to this fucking creature.

The thing that really boggles my mind is how different i am from these people at the end of the day, the only thing i ever thought about killing is myself, maybe because of my failed suicide attempt i got rid of these impulses, maybe god gave me a second chance, but even then, my heart feels heavy and i cant fucking fathom those two poor kids getting killed while going to pray by this genetic failure, i just cant wrap my head around and understand it.

Despite being in this demographic there is a certain thing that separates us, idk if its sociopathy, iq, pre-natal dht, autism, maybe it is just actually a fucking demonic possession, which i'm personally inclined to believe since that's what i think drove me to attempt suicide on the day that i did.
I also was never interested in gore and definitely not fucking cheese pizza, and i never understood why the fuck anyone would be.

Sorry about the homo rambling and any bad grammar, i just thought i would give the Shin Bet agent some insight after all these years since i never post.
 
All the slogans he wrote on his weapons and kit are so cringe. They don't sound like anything someone who is Right-wing would use as slogans, but they absolutely DO sound like what some Far-Left retard THINKS a Right-winger would write down. I think this troon wanted people to think a Right-wing extremist committed this tragedy.

There's just no way this retard was Right-wing. The guy was a tranny faggot, he lived in an extremely Blue area, according to some videos I watched his parents were both Dems and supported his troon bullshit, he apparently brainwashed HIMSELF into trooning out, he was pro-Palestine (every Right-wing person I know who hate Israel and Jews either don't give a shit about Palestine, or they hate them too)...this faggot was a Lefty and wanted people to think a Nazi pulled off the attack.

And I always have to LOL at every retard who tries the "semi-autos were only made to KILL people" argument, because it's so ridiculous and ignorant about firearms. Guess what? Every firearm was designed to kill people. That's what their original intent was all the way back to the earliest hand cannons, the kind you had to fire by touching off a match or a punk to a flash port. Firearms were used to kill people long before they were used for hunting. That doesn't mean that is their only purpose and use, as rifles like the AR-15 and other military-style semi-autos have been used far more for target shooting, competition, and even hunting than for self-defense or to commit homicides in the US. And even if their only practical use was for killing people, that's exactly what the Second Amendment is all about: regular citizens arming themselves for self defense against any attacker, including a tyrannical government (ESPECIALLY against a tyrannical government).

Guns will never be banned in the US. There have been too many wins against gun control in the Supreme Court, and it's a dead political issue. Most people don't support draconian gun control. And even if by some dark miracle a total gun ban were to happen, there wouldn't be enough people who would comply to make it effective. Depending on which sources you read, there are between 400 million and 650 million privately owned firearms in the United States. That is enough to arm every man, woman, and child in America with at least one firearm each. It just isn't feasible to do, and if they tried going house to house to search and seize every gun, it wouldn't go well. New gun control, particularly bans, on the national level is just a dead issue. And we likely have more new wins to secure our Second Amendment liberties coming during Trump's presidency.
 
Autism against demons.

May God bless these poor children and their families.

And the autists who fight the demons, to come into the faith. Try as they might, they and you guys here can't fight and win alone.

Lord Have Mercy.
 
The parents of the kids have made statements.

Parents of children killed in Annunciation Catholic school shooting speak out

Fletcher Merkel, 8, and Harper Moyski, 10, died in the mass shooting.
ByMeredith Deliso
August 28, 2025, 7:06 PM

Father of child killed in Minneapolis shooting speaks out"Give your kids an extra hug," the father of 8-year-old Fletcher Merkel said while speaking on camera on Thursday.

The two students killed in the Annunciation Catholic School mass shooting were an 8-year-old boy who loved to fish and cook and a 10-year-old girl known for her laughter and kindness.

Fletcher Merkel, 8, and Harper Moyski, 10, died when the shooter opened fire through the windows of the Minneapolis school's church on Wednesday morning, their families confirmed Thursday.

Fletcher's father urged parents to "give your kids an extra hug" as he remembered his son.

"Yesterday, a coward decided to take our 8-year-old son, Fletcher, away from us," Jesse Merkel said during remarks outside the school on Thursday, publicly identifying his son as one of the victims killed in the "senseless act of violence" carried out by a 23-year-old former student at the school. "Because of their actions, we will never be allowed to hold him, talk to him, play with him, and watch him grow into the wonderful young man he was on the path to becoming."

Jesse Merkel said his son loved his family, friends, fishing, cooking "and any sport that he was allowed to play."

The father added, "While the hole in our hearts and lives will never be filled, I hope that in time, our family can find healing. I pray that the other victim's family can find some semblance of the same."

Harper's parents remembered her as a "bright, joyful, and deeply loved 10-year-old whose laughter, kindness, and spirit touched everyone who knew her."

“Our hearts are broken not only as parents, but also for Harper’s sister, who adored her big sister and is grieving an unimaginable loss,” her parents, Michael Moyski and Jackie Flavin, said in a statement provided to ABC Minneapolis station KSTP. "As a family, we are shattered, and words cannot capture the depth of our pain."

Eighteen other people -- including 15 kids -- were also injured in the shooting and are expected to survive, police said.

The victims' families praised the response to the mass shooting.

Jesse Merkel said he's heard many stories of the "swift and heroic actions of children and adults alike, from inside the church," he said. "Without these people and their selfless actions, this could have been a tragedy of many magnitudes more. For these people, I'm thankful."
Harper's parents said they "also grieve for our fellow Annunciation family in mourning and for those hurt" and that they are "grateful for the staff and first responders who did so much for so many yesterday."

Jesse Merkel asked that people give their children "an extra hug and kiss today" and that his son is remembered "for the person he was, and not the act that ended his life."

Harper's parents said it's important that their daughter's memory "fuels action" while imploring for meaningful change to prevent a similar tragedy and "work toward a safer, more compassionate world."

"No family should ever have to endure this kind of pain," they said. "We urge our leaders and communities to take meaningful steps to address gun violence and the mental health crisis in this country. Change is possible, and it is necessary -- so that Harper’s story does not become yet another in a long line of tragedies."

The shooting occurred during a Mass that marked the first week of school, police said.

The shooter -- identified as 23-year-old Robin Westman -- died at the scene from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, police said. Westman had attended the school, and Westman's mother previously worked in the parish, police said.

A motive remains under investigation, and police said they've not identified a specific trigger for why the children at the church were targeted.

Investigators determined that Westman "harbored a whole lot of hate towards a wide variety of people and groups of people," and also "had a deranged obsession with previous mass shooters," Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara told ABC News Live on Thursday.

and I thank God every darn day.
 
what kind of response are you expecting? do you want me to link excerpts of his manifesto in here? why do you find it so hard to believe that O9A larpers groomed this retard into killing Christians? This is not unprecedented, this has happened multiple times
A response that is your own and with your own understanding of what "far right" is. i've laid this out directly.
Lets do it this way, without having to reference a person, how would you explain what the "far right" or "extremist far right" is? whats your understanding as to what it is?

Glad to see the police are approaching this more intelligently than some of the people who stumbled into this thread today.

The dude hated Israel, liked Nazism, disliked Jews, but then drives pass a synagogue just to shoot some Catholics praying at a church. Something tells me he was either crazy (not a shocker considering he was trans), or was groomed ( he regretted trooning out).
 
This. If the denial of rights is on the table then the state should define what trannies are based on the biological reality that men cannot be women and women cannot be men, which is "a man or woman who larps as the opposite sex due to mental illness" Then, deny anyone who fits that mold from being able to own firearms the same way the state prohibits felons and illegal immigrants from owning firearms. You should have your guns taken away if you're a freak of nature who can't even live as the sex you were born as.
The amount of them that threaten suicide for not being able to transition is also a pretty damn good argument to make it so they can't buy guns.
 
Yeah that's my takeaway, is that the "affirmative care" ended up causing seemingly irreversible harm to the point the perpetrator believed his only out was a murder-suicide. Even tranny approved sources tell us most kids grow out of gender dysphoria, and awkward teen years are the peak of these feelings. It doesn't shock me that he had his revelation that he's actually a chemically castrated man in a dress as he approached mental maturity.
He seemed to have a lot of issues and problems at school in middle and high school.

I was listening to a podcast on the history of autism/vaccine wars and there was this long episode of these hucksters who announced they could treat autism with depo shots (it’s just BC for females, but is chemical castration for boys). Lots of parents of male autists felt the behavior improved thanks to these shots. It only makes sense that negating testosterone would help decrease aggression in boys.

Makes me wonder if Robin’s mom felt like he was a nicer boy after a few months of estrogen and T-blockers. Definitely would have decreased the aggression and gooning.

didn't see this posted here yet, so I thought it was noteworthy that the New York Post and Andy Ngo of the Post Millennial are reporting that the
Just clickbait. Any lawyer would tell her not to speak to the cops and she’s probably in hiding while utterly devastated and half insane. Parents rarely have much to add in these cases, besides abject horror. The cops have search warrants for any place he lived to get any evidence or info they want. Robin’s mom hysterically crying isn’t going to help much but I’m sure she will eventually talk to them with a lawyer present.

Robin wasn’t a minor, they don’t usually need to speak to the parents of adult mass killers during the initial investigation unless they interacted with him shortly before the murders

You can run but you can't hide you cowardly troon-bootlicking bitch.
 
Are GENUINELY lonely, NOT in a "i'm ugly i cant get pussy" way. They are lonely in the sense that, their parents are immigrants that dont carry over their culture from their homeland, and have nothing to relate to in the country they live in so the kid has no identity, and on top of that they are ugly, weird, retarded in some strange way, or just overly-sensitive know-it-alls. They grow up with no sense of self.
Quite a lot of Gen Z and Gen Alpha kids are growing up like this, with no sense of self, because social media, identity politics bullshit, and the pandemic have completely eroded mainstream culture and fragmented subcultures to the point where they last weeks at most and cannot even be easily identified anymore. Shared hobbies and "third places" are also casualties too. When all of that is gone, what are these kids supposed to base themselves off of? There aren't any benchmarks anymore, everyone has a vastly different view of the world from what their TikTok feed is pushing them. These kids aren't developing personalities, and guess what characteristics most of them do have?
Are prone to mental illnesses, and to not be able to properly control their inhibitions (BPD, depression, drug abuse, seeking constant excitement)
And while they cannot control their inhibitions online, with porn addiction being rampant, and short form garbage + algorithms & feeds raping the mind, they seemingly can in real life because they don't do things with others. People are drinking less, teen pregnancies are down, etc. These kids aren't touching grass or even talking to IRL friends online, they're vaping fake weed and binge watching anime clips & porn. Alienation like that can obviously lead to mental illness or at the very least make it much worse.

Shits bleak man.
 
If troonery was a thing in the past, I wonder how many other school shooters in the past would have also been troons.
Forget school shooters, the people saying kurt cobain was proto trans because he wore dresses and killed himself are right. This shit is like alcoholism, its a combination of traits that get encouraged by environments into patterns of behavior.

Cobain could have gone one of two ways once he started his divorce procedures. He would have trooned out after a gay spell (probably after dating Michael Stipes) or gone full 1488 red pill from the severity of Courtney raping him in divorce court and then openly fucking Trent Reznor and Billy Corgan.

There was a mention at the press conference today about this. It became clear that the police had spoken to the father, but they were extremely evasive about the mother and finally made it clear that they hadn't spoken to her. Made me wonder if she might be dead,like Lanza mom.
