Minnesota School Shooting: Shooter’s Suicide Note Reveals Struggles

Authorities have released the final suicide note of Robin Westman, 23, who carried out a tragic attack at Annunciation Catholic School in Minnesota, killing two children and injuring 17 others. In the note, Westman expressed remorse to family and friends, described ongoing battles with depression, and asked for prayers for the victims and their families.

Officials reported that Westman used multiple firearms, shooting through church windows and intentionally targeting the children inside. The attack shocked the community, leaving many grappling with grief and confusion.

Westman had a personal connection to the school—his mother previously worked there and had legally assisted him in changing his name in 2020. In the aftermath, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey strongly condemned attempts to use the tragedy to target the transgender community, emphasizing that the focus should remain on supporting the victims and their families during this difficult time.
