It has emerged that the 23-year-old shooter who yesterday killed 2 children and injured 17 people at Annunciation Catholic School was a male who self-identified as a "trans woman".
The shooter at the school in Minneapolis, Minnesota, has been named as Robin Westman. His birth name was Robert. Westman previously applied as a teenager in Dakota County to change his birth name from Robert to Robin, according to court documents obtained by local media, with the request granted in January 2020.
The deed poll request, which states the then-teen "identifies as a female and wants her name to reflect that identification", was validated by Westman's parents, reports the Daily Telegraph.
