FBI Director Kash Patel announced Aug. 27 that the agency is investigating the shooting at Annunciation Parish and School in Minneapolis as an anti-Catholic hate crime.

“The FBI is investigating this shooting as an act of domestic terrorism and hate crime targeting Catholics,” Patel wrote in a brief statement on X. “There were 2 fatalities, an 8-year-old and a 10-year-old. In addition, 14 children and 3 adults were injured. The shooter has been identified as Robin Westman, a male born as Robert Westman. The FBI will continue to provide updates on our ongoing investigation with the public as we are able.”
