Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara said the shooter — armed with a rifle, shotgun and pistol — approached the side of the church and shot through the windows toward the children inside before killing himself in the parking lot.
He said the shooter was in his early 20s, did not have an extensive known criminal history and acted alone. He did not release more details.
A law enforcement official told The Associated Press authorities have identified the shooter as Robin Westman. That official was not authorized to discuss the ongoing investigation and spoke on condition of anonymity.
Former Kentucky state lawmaker Bob Heleringer told The Associated Press he is Westman’s uncle, but had not seen him in a few years.
“He was my nephew, and I wish he had shot me instead of innocent schoolchildren,” Heleringer said during a phone interview. “I barely knew him. They (Robin’s family) never lived in Louisville. They lived in Minnesota.”

I saw it on a few news sites, but no discussion if they were actually going through the process. They claim they identified as a female, and changed his name from Robert to Robin at 17.
So we’ll probably know more later. Walz and Frey mentioned trans’ rights at the press conference.
