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."
Amid the investigation into the Minneapolis Catholic school shooting, the shooter Robin Westman's 4-page handwritten letter to his family and friends has been found, in which she said, "I don't expect forgiveness."
"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.
The alleged shooter of the Minneapolis shooting likely intended to carry out the attack with the intent of inflicting many more casualties among the children targeted. Police have found that Robin Westman visited the church weeks ago under the pretext of wanting to reconnect with the Catholic faith at the school, which the shooter once attended.
They believe that during that visit, he created the detailed, hand-drawn diagram of the church’s interior that was shown on a video the shooter set to publish on YouTube around the time the attack began
