A Minneapolis school shooting killed two children; media focused on shooter’s gender identity despite no link to violence.
A mass shooting at a Minneapolis school on August 27, 2025, left two children dead and 18 injured, with the shooter, 23-year-old transgender woman Robin Westman, dying by suicide.
Right-wing and some mainstream media outlets emphasized her gender identity in coverage, often misgendering her and promoting unverified claims linking her to anti-Trump sentiments, despite no evidence connecting gender identity to gun violence.
Critics argue the focus fuels transphobia and distracts from systemic gun violence, which remains the leading cause of death among U.S. minors.
While officials like Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey urged against scapegoating, media narratives frequently contradicted those calls, reinforcing harmful stereotypes.
