Eyewitness Recounts Harrowing Moments After Trans Gunman Shot Catholic School Kids—It Was ‘Horrific’ – RedState
We are starting to obtain first -hand reports on what happened in moments following the massacre of Wednesday morning at the Annunciation Catholic Church in Minneapolis, and, although the scene was “chaotic”, it was also a scene of great kindness, comfort and community.
As Redstate previously reported, law enforcement officials identified the shooter in today’s massacre like Robin / Robert Westman, 23. Westman, a biological man who identified himself as a woman and legally changed his name by the most feminine “Robin”, would have published a video of himself via his manifesto written by hand and by displaying his cache of arms before making his evil conspiracy.

The schoolchildren of the Annunciation Catholic School gathered in the parish church for a mass celebrating the start of a new school year at the start of the shooting. Westman may have supported wooden boards against the outside of certain doors of the church to prevent people inside from escaping; He then went up the church from the outside, blindly spraying bullets through the windows of the church.
Pat Scallen, a man who lives near the shooting site and is a parishioner of the Annunciation, told Gillian Turner de Fox News what he saw when he approached the scene shortly after the shooting was stopped. Scallen says that he arrived at the front of the church when the schoolchildren were fleeing the shots, and he was immediately put into action.
And I immediately focused on two young girls who had been very seriously injured, then another boy who had – looked like him was brandished on his arm. And I am sort of hooked with them until the EMTs come, because they were obviously very distressing, and I was worried about their physical condition and held the hand of a girl.
She wanted me to do that. And they did it – they asked for their mom. And I reassured them and gave them comfort. But it was a terrible scene.
Shortly after the end of the outburst, the images began to overcome distraught parents arriving at the church, desperate to find and tighten their children. The heartbreaking news of the heart that two children have been killed and that many others wounded undoubtedly shaken the Catholic community, but Scallen says that the tragedy will not destroy it: “Well, we are clearly in the moment of shock and distress. And that will live for a while to cure.
At a press conference in the afternoon, Matthew Deboer, director of the Catholic School of the Annunciation, confirmed the death of “two angels” aged 8 and 10. “Please pray and not stop with your words,” argued Deboer. “It can never happen again.” The director also praised older schoolchildren who courageously protected the youngest as the gunshots were sounded.

The police do not speculate yet on the motive of Westman to carry out the massacre, but it appeared that the young man in difficulty was formerly a student at the Annunciation and was illustrated in the school’s 2017 school directory. The mother of the shooter had already worked in church, according to publications on social networks.
As for Pat Scallen, he does not regret being there following the tragedy, saying: “I would have liked someone there with my children. I did not want these children to be alone – for a single minute.”
