Minnesota Church School Shooting Suspect ‘Identifies as Female,’ Changed Name at 17 Years Old

The nation is reeling after yet another horrific attack on a Catholic school, this time in Minneapolis. Police confirmed that the shooter, who took the lives of two children and wounded 17 others, had previously changed his identity from male to female as a teenager.

A senior administration official told Breitbart News that the alleged shooter legally changed names at 17, moving from “Robert” to “Robin” in 2020 with parental approval. FOX News correspondent Brook Taylor reported that the mother signed off on the name change. The revelation came after a document confirming the name change circulated online and was authenticated by officials.

Authorities stated that the attacker used a pistol, a rifle, and a shotgun to unleash terror inside the church, firing through windows while children sat in pews during mass. In the aftermath, the shooter took his own life.

While the loss of innocent life is the most tragic part of this story, there are pressing questions that cannot be ignored. Once again, America is faced with the deadly consequences of cultural confusion, weak institutions, and a refusal to confront deeper societal issues head-on. It’s impossible to separate this tragedy from broader debates about mental health, family breakdown, and policies that enable dangerous individuals to slip through the cracks.

What’s clear is that the victims and their families will carry this pain forever. But for the rest of the country, the responsibility now lies in facing uncomfortable truths about the direction our society is heading — and whether protecting children, families, and communities will finally become the nation’s top priority.
