MINNEAPOLIS, MN – The investigation into the devastating Annunciation Catholic School shooting continues to uncover disturbing details, but authorities are facing a major obstacle: the mother of 23-year-old shooter Robin Westman is refusing to cooperate with law enforcement.
Mary Grace Westman, a former school secretary and the mother of Robin Westman — who tragically killed two children and injured 18 others during a back-to-school Mass — has retained criminal defense attorney Ryan Garry to represent her in the ongoing investigation. According to police, she has declined multiple interview requests, refused to answer questions from detectives, and is withholding any voluntary information that could shed light on her son’s planning or state of mind prior to the attack.
Her attorney has publicly stated that Mary Grace Westman is “distraught” over the tragedy and maintains that she bears no responsibility for her son’s actions. However, the lack of cooperation from a close family member has frustrated investigators and heightened tensions among the victims’ families, who are desperate for answers about how such a horrific attack could occur.
Meanwhile, law enforcement officials have seized Robin Westman’s electronics, personal documents, and online writings, which reveal a disturbing obsession with past mass shooters, adherence to hate-filled ideologies, and evidence of careful premeditation. These materials are central to the ongoing investigation as authorities attempt to piece together the events leading up to the shooting and understand the motivations behind it.
Police emphasize that while Mary Grace Westman’s refusal to cooperate complicates matters, investigators are determined to uncover the truth and hold anyone who may have played a role accountable under the law. Families of the victims continue to call for transparency and answers, hoping that the investigation will provide closure and prevent similar tragedies in the future.
The case has drawn national attention, raising questions about parental responsibility, warning signs, and the challenges faced by law enforcement in investigating mass shootings. Authorities have urged anyone with information regarding Robin Westman’s planning or behavior prior to the attack to come forward, as every detail could be critical in understanding the full scope of the tragedy.
As Minneapolis grapples with the aftermath of the shooting, the refusal of Westman’s mother to cooperate adds another layer of complexity and emotional strain to an already heart-wrenching situation. The community continues to mourn the victims while law enforcement works tirelessly to ensure justice is served.
