Cunningham is a Christian who made his religion part of his basketball routines. Dating from her university career at the University of Missouri, she is known to have a routine where she uses her fingers to draw the sign of the cross on her shoes, her knees, her heart and her forehead, and again above her heart when she heads for the Frank of Launae.

The shooting is currently under investigation by the FBI as a hatred crime targeting Catholics, the FBI director Kash Patel announced on Wednesday. Patel said two children died. They were 8 and 10 years old.

The alleged shooter was identified as Robert or Robin Westman, according to sources of application of the law.

Judicial files show that a minor of Minneapolis named Robert Westman had legally changed for Robin in 2019, and Patel confirmed that the shooter was born Robert and then identified as Robin.

Robin M. Westman was previously known as Robert Paul Westman, according to a legal document deposited by a mother named Mary Grace Westman.

“The minor child (Raised) identifies as a woman and wants her name to reflect this identification,” she wrote at the time.

Disturbing videos published by a person using the name Robin Westman were deleted from YouTube after filming, showing handwritten pages of a notebook, weapons with messages painted on them and comments from the one who filmed them.
