The aftermath of the brutal shooting at a Minneapolis Catholic school continues to unfold, with the lives of two children tragically lost and 17 others injured. The perpetrator, Robin Westman, aged 23, was discovered deceased in the school’s parking area. Initial investigations suggest suicide as the cause of death. Recent revelations indicate Westman’s involvement in a YouTube channel, “Robin W,” where he was supposedly slated to appear in videos. Although the videos have been taken down, a poignant letter published prior to the attack has been widely circulated. The letter offers insight into the shooter’s frame of mind and his possible reasons for the violence. Westman offers an apology for the incident and the distress it may inflict on his family. He suggests that they should change their identities and “move on.” The letter begins with an apology and his acknowledgment of the disruption he caused to the lives of those he cares about. He states that he does not expect forgiveness or an apology. The letter acknowledges the extensive impact of his actions.
