The shooter, identified as Robin Westman, 23, from Minnesota, opened fire in the Annunciation Catholic School on Wednesday killing two children aged 8 and 10 and injuring 17 people. Westman then allegedly killed himself.

Video footage circulating online allegedly showed Westman displaying his ammunition, rifles and guns.

 

'Nuke India' is written in white on one of the guns.

Journalist Laura Loomer said in a post on X that the Minnesota shooter had 'Mashallah' and 'Nuke India' written on his gun.

He also wrote 'Israel Must Fall'.

'Clearly influenced by anti-Indian and Anti-Jewish Islamic propaganda. Not really a shocker to see a person like this living in Ilhan Omar's district kill Catholics. Another example of the Red-Green alliance,' Loomer said.

Ilhan Omar, a Democrat, is the US representative for Minnesota's 5th congressional district since 2019.
