terrible about all the families that have been hurt and they're under the same crap that I'm going under, that my wife and I are going under. I apologise for that.
From what I understand based on my conversation with the FBI director, all they know right now is that this was an individual who hated people of the Mormon faith, Leavitt said. They are trying to understand more about this, how premeditated it was, how much planning went into it, whether he left a note, all of those questions are yet to be answered but certainly will be answered by the FBI.
Multiple people have been hurt in a shooting at a church in Grand Blanc, Michigan, police said on Sunday morning. The Grand Blanc Township Police Department said in a Facebook post at 11:12 a.m. that there was an active shooter at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at 4825 McCandlish Rd., and "there are multiple victims," and that the shooter "is down."
A district court gave approval for the shooter's name to be changed from Robert to Robin in 2020, acknowledging that Westman identifies as a female and wants her name to reflect that identification. According to the New York Post, which translated Russian Cyrillic writing in the shooter's journal, Westman expressed regret about being transgender ahead of the attack. I only keep [the long hair] because it is pretty much my last shred of being trans. I am tired of being trans, I wish I never brain-washed myself, wrote Westman, according to the Post.
In the vaulted church of a Catholic school in Minneapolis, the pews were packed with teachers, parents and schoolchildren listening to a psalm on the third day of the new school year. "For you darkness itself is not dark, and night shines as the day," a church member read to some 200 students Wednesday morning as sun streamed through stained glass windows. Just before the congregants were to proclaim "Alleluia," bullets blasted through the windows.
During the mass, a gunman approached on the outside, on the side of the building and began firing a rifle through the church windows, towards the children sitting in the pews at the mass. He struck children and worshippers that were inside the building. The shooter was armed with a rifle, a shotgun and a pistol. This was a deliberate act of violence against innocent children and other people worshipping.
