&imwidth=800&imheight=600&format=webp&quality=medium "'Gender and weed f****d up my head': Minneapolis shooter blames mother for killing people")
Minneapolis school shooter Robin Westman, a transgender woman, blamed her mother for the mass shooting in which kids were killed and dozens were injured. “Your words, mother, made me stay in my discomfort unable to ask for help to avoid admitting defeat. You were right mama, but the way you handled it led me to wanting to kill so so many people,” Westman wrote. “Gender and weed fucked up my head,” he claimed. “I wish I never tried experimenting with either. Don’t let your kids smoke weed or change gender until they are like seventeen.”
"I don't expect forgiveness, and I don't expect any apology. I have to hold much weight. But to my family and those close to me, I do apologise for the effects my actions will have on your lives. Please know I care for all of you so much, and it pains me to bring this storm of chaos into your lives. This will affect so many more people than the ones that are immediately involved," the shooter wrote.
In a shocking twist, Westman furhter revealed that she was destroying her life by vaping and other means and might have lung cancer. "I think I am dying of cancer."
"I don't want the rest of my life to be as a cancer patient, in and out of hospitals, constantly being fretted about with people afraid to be too happy around me. F*** That! I want to go out on my own means. Unfortunately, due to my depression, anger, and twisted mind, I want to fulfill a final act that has been in the back of my head for years," the letter added.
Robin Westman fired 116 rounds from rifle

Minnesota police said that Robin Westman, the shooter, fired at least 116 rounds from the rifle at the people and children present at the Minneapolis church. "Everything we've seen so far is a classic pathway to an active shooter," Minneapolis police chief Brian O'Hara said on NBC's "TODAY" show Thursday, adding police have seen nothing "specific to trigger the amount of hate that occurred yesterday."
