The mother of transgender Minneapolis mass shooter Robin Westman is not cooperating with police in the investigation, authorities announced on Thursday.
Mary Grace Westman, who worked at Annunciation Catholic School, which was targeted by the deranged 23-year-old gunman Wednesday morning, has not contacted police — nor responded to their attempts to reach her, Minneapolis police announced at a press conference Thursday.
“We have not been successful in talking to the shooter’s mother,” Police Chief Brian O’Hara said.
He provided no further details.
Mary Grace signed Robin’s legal name change in 2020 — from Robert to Robin — in apparent support of his gender-identity change.
She worked as a secretary at Annunciation for five years until she retired in 2021, according to the church’s website.
