The gunman who opened fire on school children during a church service in Minneapolis, killing two students, had disturbing messages like "kill Donald Trump" and "nuke India" written on his firearms, according to a video previously uploaded to his now-deleted YouTube channel.
US conservative activist Laura Loomer also shared images on Wednesday revealing that the 23-year-old shooter had inscribed phrases such as "Mashallah," "Nuke India," and "Israel Must Fall" on the weapons he used during the deadly attack at Annunciation Catholic School.
The shooter, identified as Robin Westman, 23, used all three of his firearms, a rifle, a shotgun, and a pistol, firing dozens of rounds into the church. Authorities later found him dead in the school’s parking lot from what is believed to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Is @DHSgov going to address the Islamic inspired anti-Christian hate expressed by the shooter today in Minnesota?The shooter was radicalized by leftism and Islam.
He praised 9/11 hijacker Mohamed Atta on his gun and magazine, and wrote the Islamic phrase “Mashallah”.

According to an official cited by the Associated Press, Westman had legally acquired all three weapons and had no prior criminal record.
On a YouTube channel titled "Robin W", at least two videos were uploaded before the platform took the channel down.
One of the videos, approximately 10 minutes long and recorded on a mobile phone, showed a stockpile of weapons, ammunition, and loaded magazines. On one of the magazines, the names of previous school shooters were visibly scrawled, along with messages written in Cyrillic script.
At one point in the video, the individual picked up a smaller firearm from the collection and said, "This one is for me. In case I need it." The footage also revealed a handwritten letter addressed to the shooter’s family, apologizing for the consequences the attack would have on them.
A second video from the same channel, nearly 20 minutes in length, featured two journals. One contained over 150 pages entirely written in what appears to be Cyrillic, while the other, dated 8-21-25, spanned more than 60 pages and was also written in Cyrillic script.
