School shooter with an LGBTQ identity occurred in 2023 at The Covenant School in Nashville. The shooter, Audrey Hale, was identified by police as transgender. That incident tragically left six people dead, including three children.
More recently, in August 2025, Robin Westman—a transgender woman—was identified as the shooter in the Annunciation Catholic School attack in Minneapolis. Westman, 23, opened fire during a school mass, killing two children and injuring 17 others before dying by suicide. Court records show she had legally changed her name in 2020 to reflect her gender identity.
Both cases sparked intense public debate. Both cases involved gender dysmorphic attackers and Christian values being attacked.
