Overview
- Two children, ages 8 and 10, were killed and 17 people were injured during a school Mass at Annunciation Catholic Church, with authorities saying most victims are expected to survive.
- The attacker fired from outside through church windows and used a rifle, shotgun and pistol that police say were legally purchased.
- Officials identified the suspect as Robin Westman, in their early 20s, who died by apparent suicide in a nearby parking lot and is believed to have acted alone.
- The FBI says writings and videos include anti-religious, anti-Catholic and antisemitic messages, and officials reported weapon markings that included a call for violence against President Donald Trump.
- Authorities are investigating the case as potential domestic terrorism and a hate crime against Catholics while they examine motive and any ties between the suspect and the church or school.
