The Minneapolis Annunciation Catholic Church shooting suspect's personal turmoil has been uncovered in the initial investigation.
Although the motive behind the deadly attack at the Catholic school remained unknown, several search warrants obtained by the police revealed that the shooter, Robin Westman, recently went through a breakup, Fox News reported.
As per the search warrant, the shooter was living in Richfield, while the killer’s father told the police that he was staying with an older friend after a breakup in nearby St Louis Park.
Police have also seized "misc. documents," two computer drives and a tactical vest from the 23-year-old shooter’s father’s house in Minneapolis.
Westman, who has been identified as the gunman behind the fatal shooting at the Annunciation Church in Minneapolis, killed two children: eight-year-old boy Fletcher Merkel and 10-year-old girl Harper Moyski.
The shooter also injured 18 other worshippers, most of them kids, before dying from a self-inflicted gunshot to the head.
Westman ‘didn't stand out' to neighbours:
Westman's neighbours said that they never noticed any suspicious activity or behaviour before the shocking attack.
One neighbour claimed that he “did not stand out” and appeared to be a “normal young person,” adding, “(Westman) looked like any other 20-something-year-old. Came into the building, ordered fast food, went to work, came home. (He) had friends. Nothing stood out.”
It is worth noting that Westman, whose birth name was Robert Paul Westman, legally changed his name to Robin M. Westman.
A court form filled out by a mother named Mary Grace Westman read, "Minor child (redacted) identifies as a female and wants her name to reflect that identification.”
Furthermore, as per authorities, Westman also attended Annunciation Catholic Church's attached Catholic school until eighth grade.
