“‘Nuke India, Kill Trump’ Scrawled on Minneapolis Shooter’s Weapons, Say Disturbing Pre-Attack Videos”

Robin Westman, identified as the gunman behind Wednesday’s deadly shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, appeared in a series of disturbing videos posted online before the attack, showing his weapons inscribed with violent and antisemitic messages.

According to reports cited by the New York Post and CNN, Westman’s ammunition and gun magazines bore phrases such as “Nuke India,” “Kill Donald Trump,” “Israel must fall,” and “For the children.” In one clip, he displayed a cache of firearms, including a semi-automatic rifle and a shotgun, with messages like “Where is your God?” and the names of mass shooters such as Adam Lanza.

Westman also expressed admiration for Lanza, who killed 26 people at Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012. In his journal, he wrote: “I have deep fascination with one man in particular: Adam Lanza.”

The videos, released just hours before the attack, revealed his antisemitic ideology. One weapon was marked with “burn Israel,” while his writings described plans for a racially motivated attack, calling Jewish people “filthy Zionist jews” and “entitled.”

The footage also featured excerpts from a manifesto containing gun schematics and diary entries in English and Russian, where Westman fantasized about killing “powerless children.”

The shooting, which took place during a Mass service, killed two children and left 17 others injured. Westman, armed with a rifle, shotgun, and handgun, died of a self-inflicted gunshot at the scene.
