The Minneapolis shooter who opened fire on Wednesday on school children attending a church service, killing two students, had hate messages written on his weapons — “Kill Donald Trump", “Nuke India" and “Burn Israel". A video, in which the shooter is showcasing all his weapons, has surfaced on social media and is going viral.

The shooter, identified as Robin Westman, 23, used three weapons – a rifle, a shotgun and a pistol – and fired dozens of rounds at the church at the Annunciation Catholic School at nearly 8.30 am.

The incident left two children, aged 8 and 10, dead, and as many as 17 worshippers injured. The accused was later found dead in the parking lot from what officials believe was a self-inflicted gunshot.

According to the New York Post, Westman changed his name from Robert to Robin in 2020 as he identified himself as a female. He applied to change his birth name in Dakota County, Minn., when he was 17 years old, according to court documents. That name change was granted in January 2020.

Notably, just hours before the cowardly massacre, Westman posted videos on a YouTube channel titled “Robin W". However, they were later taken by the site administrators.

One of the videos, which was over 10 minutes long, showed a cache of weapons, ammunition and loaded magazines with messages such as “Kill Donald Trump", “kill Trump now", “Israel must fall", “Nuke India" and “Burn Israel" written on them.

“Where is your God?" and “for the children" were also written on the magazines.

Notably, the names of previous school shooters were also scrawled on a magazine. Some of the messages were written in Cyrillic.

The video also showed a letter written to the person’s family, apologising for what the shooting will mean for them.

US Homeland Secretary Kristi Noem confirmed the authenticity of the video, saying the “deeply sick murderer scrawled" the words ‘For the Children’ and ‘Where is your God?’ and ‘Kill Donald Trump’ on the rifle magazine.

“This level of violence is unthinkable," she wrote on X.

Westman legally purchased the weapons, had no known criminal history and acted alone, officials said.

Following the deadly attack, President Donald Trump ordered the US flag to be flown at half-staff nationwide as a sign of mourning.
