In the immediate aftermath of a school shooting in Minneapolis this week, when a man shot and killed two children and injured more than a dozen more, reporters were unclear on a lot of details.
But they weren’t about to let an assumption about the gender of the man who also died in the attack stand.
In a report posted by the New York Post, Fox News reported it was Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., who was being interviewed by Aisla Chang of National Public Radio.
The senator referenced the shooter who attacked Annunciation Catholic School as “he.”
Chang immediately jumped in, “And just a point of clarification, Sen. Klobuchar referenced the shooter as ‘he.’ Although police have identified a suspect, it’s still unclear at this time what that person’s gender is or how they identify.”
She claimed the gender was “unclear.”
In fact, police have identified the dead attacker as Robert Westman, 23, who changed his name to Robin as a juvenile because he wanted to identify as female.
Reports also have confirmed that he indicated a desire to leave the transgender lifestyle choice, and expressed regret that he ever brainwashed himself.
Police say he used three guns that legally were purchased, and committed suicide after the attack.
Klobuchar had said, “There’s, of course, the hate. You’re going to find that this perpetrator, that this horrific offender … that he … it was all-purpose hate, right? He hated a lot of different groups. It wasn’t one ideology or another.”
Klobuchar had added, “And then this madman shoots through the windows. The children are hiding under pews.”
FBI chief Kash Patel said, “The FBI is investigating this shooting as an act of domestic terrorism and hate crime targeting Catholics. There were 2 fatalities, an 8-year-old and a 10-year-old. In addition, 14 children and 3 adults were injured. The shooter has been identified as Robin Westman, a male born as Robert Westman.”
