Troubling

 News sources everywhere are telling us of a shooting earlier today in Minneapolis.

School children were attending a Mass at their local parish to celebrate the beginning of the school year.  Some coward started shooting into the church.

ABC News is reporting that the shooter, who committed suicide at the scene,  had changed his/her name several years ago.

A name change application for a minor born on the same date was approved by a district court in Minnesota in 2020, changing the name of a Robert Westman to Robin Westman, explaining the minor child "identifies as a female and wants her name to reflect that identification."

 I'm not sure what to make of that, but it doesn't sound like the shooter was a right-wing nutjob.  Actually, very few mass shooters identify from the conservative side of the political spectrum.

We will learn more as the investigation gains momentum.  There are still victims in the hospital and we will pray for their quick recovery.
