The shooter of the shooter, who set fire to the Minianpolis Catholic Church month on Wednesday, is not cooperating with the investigators as they try to determine that two children died and 18 others were injured due to tragic incidents, including 15 children.
Fox News learned that the shooter’s mother, Mary Grace Westman, has upheld criminal rescue lawyer Ryan Gary.
Asked why the mother received a criminal lawyer, Gary told Fox, “She is completely distraught about the situation and is not guilty of her, but is looking for a lawyer to deal with the call in this way.”
Miniapolis police chief Brian O’Hara said that dozens of interviews have been organized with the shooter’s relatives, friends and colleagues and those who saw the massacre in the Announcement Catholic Church.

O’Hara said during a news conference on Thursday, “I know that we have not been able to talk to the shooter’s mother, yet, at this time,” O’Hara said during a news conference on Thursday. “But efforts are made to do so.”
Court documents show that the shooter’s mother applied for her son to change her name legally, writing in 2019, “Minor identifies as a woman and wants her name to reflect identity.”
It is not clear why the shooter’s mother is not cooperating with the investigators.
On Thursday, a reporter was asked if the investigators were in touch with the shooter’s father, O’Hara initially said he could not confirm this.
But the chief briefly held a side conversation with Superintendent Drew Evans of the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Indigestion, who said that his investigators were in touch with the father.

Nevertheless, investigators have not yet said whether the shooter was identified as 23 -year -old Robin as Westman, lived with his mother or father, seeing that there are three addresses associated with the person.
O’Hara said, “I can’t verify yet at which residence he was staying immediately before shooting, but it is clearly something that will come with investigation.”
The chief said that the shooter participated in the month in the church while attending the school associated with the place of worship.
O’Hara said, “The shooter’s mother was the first parish employee for some time.” “So, obviously there is a connection between the shooter and this special parish.”

FBI director Kash Patel said that the agency’s investigation into the “barbaric” attack on Thursday suggests that the attack was a task of domestic terrorism “inspired by hate ideology.”
He said that the manifesto and writing on firearms demonstrated anti -Catholic and anti -religious references.
In particular, the shooter expressed hatred and violence to the Jewish people and wrote things like “Israeli Must Fall” and “Free Palestine” and used clear language related to Holocost, Patel said.
