The Minneapolis Catholic school shooter Robin Westman recently went through a breakup and was living with an older friend, according to one of several search warrants police have obtained in the wake of a deadly attack on Wednesday’s morning Mass.
Westman most recently lived in an apartment in Richfield, according to a search warrant, but the killer’s father told police that the 23-year-old had just gone through a breakup and was staying with a friend in nearby St. Louis Park.
Police also searched Westman’s father’s house in Minneapolis, where they seized a tactical vest, two computer drives and “misc documents,” according to the warrant return.
Westman has been identified as the one who opened fire Wednesday morning, killing two children, ages 8 and 10, and injuring 18 other worshipers, including more than a dozen other kids from the school.
Police found Westman dead of a self-inflicted gunshot to the head, wearing black “tactical” gear and carrying at least two long guns, according to the warrant. The van Westman used in the attack belonged to James Westman, the killer’s father.
The elder Westman told police about the breakup.
