‘He Laid on Top of Me”: 10-Year-Old Recalls How Friend Saved Him from Trans Shooter [Video]

In the harrowing aftermath of the Annunciation Catholic Church shooting, a stark narrative of pure evil contrasted with ultimate bravery emerged, a narrative the liberal media is desperate to downplay. While mainstream outlets initially soft-pedaled the attacker’s identity and motives, the heroic account from ten-year-old Weston Halsne cuts through their politically-correct narrative to reveal the raw truth of the event. Weston’s powerful testimony to reporters stands as a testament to the courage found in faith-based communities, a courage that stands in direct opposition to the hate-filled ideology that motivated the attack.

Weston Halsne, a fifth-grade student, provided a chilling and firsthand account of the terror that unfolded, detailing how his friend, Victor, selflessly sacrificed his own safety. “The shots were like, right next to me,” Weston recounted. “My friend Victor, like saved me, though, because he layed on top of me, but he got hit.” He described his friend’s incredible bravery, stating, “Um, he’s really brave, and I hope he’s good in the hospital.”

In another interview, he elaborated on the moment of salvation: “my friend Victor, he was, like, laying on top of me, like, making sure I was safe, and he got hit. So, that was really brave of him.” This act of valor, born from the very Catholic teachings the shooter sought to destroy, highlights the profound decency the left so often ignores.

The details provided by Weston further contradict early media obfuscation. He described the shooter with clarity: “he was wearing all black and he had a ski mask on.” The attacker’s deliberate targeting of a sacred space was also noted by the boy, who observed, “he shot through the stained glass windows, so they’re probably ruined.”

This was not a random act of violence but a targeted assault on symbols of faith, a fact confirmed by the shooter’ own manifesto which depicted Jesus Christ as a target. While some networks hesitated, FBI Director Kash Patel rightly confirmed the investigation as domestic terrorism and a hate crime against Catholics, a designation that aligns with President Donald Trump’s unwavering support for religious liberty and his steadfast commitment to identifying and combating radical ideological threats facing the nation.

President Trump’s swift condemnation of the attack and his powerful defense of the Catholic community stands in sharp contrast to the muted responses from the left, which often seems embarrassed by or dismissive of threats against religious institutions. His administration’s focus on law and order and protecting communities of faith from targeted violence is precisely the leadership required in this moment of crisis, ensuring that such acts of hatred are met with the full force of justice and are never minimized for political convenience.
