Mini -Ae -Polis School Attacks, “Observed to the idea of ​​killing children,” officials say.

Investigators say that the attackers who set fire to the students when they were in a church in Minnie Police said, “I was obsessed with the idea of ​​killing children.”

Robin Westman, who killed two children and injured 18 other children according to Brian O’Hara, Minnie Polis Police Chief, does not seem to have a specific motivation.

The attacker added on Thursday, “It seemed to hate all of us.”

The murdered children were confirmed by the family by FLETCHER MERKEL, 8, Harper Moyski, and 10.

His father, Jesse Merkel, told reporters: “Yesterday’s cowards decided to take our 8 -year -old son Fletcher away from us.

“FLETCHER liked family, friends, fishing, cooking and sports he could do.”

“Please give your children an extra hug and kiss today. We love you, Fletcher. You will always be with us.”

Harper Moyski, Michael Moyski and Jackie Flavin’s parents said that their daughters said, “Laughter, kindness, and spirit, who impresses everyone who knows her.”

“As a family, we are shattered, and horses cannot capture the depth of our pain,” he added.

“No family needs to endure this kind of pain …. It is possible to change, and Harper’s story is not needed to be another in a long tragedy.”

The officials have almost announced the details of the suspect’s background, but West Monde said that there was a mother who had previously attended a church school and worked there.

A 23 -year -old suspect is believed to have approached the side of the St. Mary’s Youngbo Taemun Church, which accepts schools and fires dozens of guns through the windows using three firearms. The police also found a smoke bomb in the field.

The Witnesses explained that the children began to help the strangers when they saw blood when they ran away from the church.

At the press conference on Thursday, the US Attorney General Minnesota Joseph Thompson said, “The sniper expressed hatred for many groups, including the Jewish community and President Trump.”

An attacker who died in his own gunshot scenes left a note, but he added that the officials never known their decisive motives.

“We will not be dignified by the attacker’s words by repeating the attacker’s words,” said Thompson.

Westman’s name was legally changed from Robert to Robin in 2020, and the judge wrote: “Minor children are identified as women”. But some federal officials and the police mentioned West far as humans when discussing attacks.

O’Hara told reporters that the news outlet should not use the killer name.

He added, “We have a bit of charm in the previous mass shooting, like many other mass shooters who have been so often in this country and many other mass shooters from all over the world.”

US officials warned for several years that mass shootings could lead to copycat murder because murderers became famous through terrible crimes.

Some major news organizations have policies that do not identify mass murderers.

Kash Patel, director of the FBI, described this attack as “a domestic terrorist act that was motivated by ideology full of hatred.”

PATEL said in X’s post that the attacker wrote “Anti -Religious and Anti -References for Guns” for a notebook and wrote it for notes that the investigator did not find.

“The theme is to express hatred and violence against the Jewish people, and to use Israel, ‘free palestine’, and the obvious language related to the Holocaust should be used.”

The murderer also said, “The firearm magazine wrote a clear demand for violence against President Trump.”

At the press conference, the officials confirmed that the attacker had previously went to school. Her mother, Mary Grace Westman, previously worked at school and has not responded to the law enforcement agency’s attempts.

They also confirmed that three houses related to the attacker from the suburban mini polis were searched by the police.

They said they would lock their doors and save a lot of life before the church started mass service.

Officials added that all of the guns used in the attack were legally purchased, and the murderers did not appear in the government surveillance list, and the police did not recognize her mental health diagnosis or treatment.

Witnesses and relatives of the victims who talked to the BBC explained the miserable scenes of violence.

Patrick Scallen, who lives near the church, said he saw three children running away from the building.

“She continued to say.

Vincent Francoual, who was in the church when the 11 -year -old daughter Chloe had a shooting, tried not to be embarrassed after hearing the news.

He said he was trained to prepare for mass shootings in the United States.

“We live in a country where children do what they need to do. And she did what she had to do.”

“There is a pattern here. It is no longer a monster accident,” he said.

“I told my wife that every morning, when we drop the children, she may come back safely.”

French, who was originally from France, said he was afraid to return to school or church.

This attack has caused some lawmakers, including the Mini -Ae -Paulis market, to enact a ban on assault weapons.

Jacob Frey said, “There is no reason to be able to take off 30 guns before someone again,” demanding a ban on high -capacity ammunition magazines. “

“We are not talking about your father’s hunting rifle here. We are talking about the guns built to smoke armor and kill people.”
