The police are investigating a disturbing range of videos published online by a suspect shooter in Wednesday’s Catholic school, which left two children dead and 17 others injured. Authorities say that clips they consider to be a “manifest” provide new knowledge about the thinking and preparation of the attacker.
Attack on the Catholic School of Annunciation
Police chief Minneapolis Brian O’Hara identified an attacker as Robin Westman, 23 years, who started fire through windows from the column of the Catholic Church at 8:30, because the pupils gathered for the Mass to mark the beginning of the academic year.
Two children aged eight and ten were killed when sitting in benches. Fourteen other children and three parishioners in their 80s were injured.
Videos timed by filming
Before the Westman attack, he reportedly recorded several YouTube clips. The boss O’Hara said that investigators “search the” Manifest “video… to try to create a motive.”
The videos, later removed from the platform, showed weapons carved by racial slots, anti -Semitic phrases and a written threat to death against US President Donald Trump.
Disturbing content in “Manifest”
In one clip Westman expressed admiration for six bulk shooters, including Adam Lanza, who murdered 26 people at the Sandy Hook elementary school in 2012. Another video showed phrases like “Psycho Killer” and “suck on it!”, Along with anti -Semitic news like “6 million is not enough”.
Westman also said that he was suffering from depression and suicidal thoughts, but he was not a clear motive.
Church sketches and magazine records
Especially a cold 20 -minute video showed that Westman overturned a magazine filled with text written in English using a cyrillic script. One page was the title of “Annunciation from Memory” and included a detailed sketch of the church interior.
Other notes revealed plans to “capture the Great Assembly of the first day of school”.
On another page, the capital letters are “I’m so sorry,” while the person of filming whispered, “I love my family.”
