The Minneapolis school shooter had broken up with a romantic partner before carrying out the horrific attack, it has emerged.
Robin Westman, who identifies as a transgender woman, had been involved with a ‘significant’ partner, but the relationship recently ended, the killer’s father told police.
The gender of Westman’s former ‘romantic partner’ is unclear.
The killer had been staying with a friend in the aftermath of the break-up, according to a search warrant obtained by FOX 9.
Westman on Wednesday fired 116 rifle rounds through stained-glass windows at Annunciation Church in Minneapolis while school children celebrated Mass.
The mass shooting killed two students, ages eight and 10, and left 18 others injured.
