Overview
- Police identified the shooter as 23-year-old Robin Westman, who died by suicide behind the church after firing into the sanctuary.
- Investigators say the attacker shot from outside through stained-glass windows with a rifle, shotgun and pistol; at least two exits were found barricaded and a smoke bomb was recovered.
- Federal and local authorities are examining online videos and a timed manifesto linked to the suspect that platforms have since removed.
- Hospitals reported numerous pediatric patients, several surgeries and three injured parishioners in their 80s, with all wounded expected to survive.
- Officials say Westman had no extensive known criminal history, is believed to have acted alone, and the school executed evacuations and family reunification as the community gathered for vigils.
