The former girlfriend of Trans Minnesota school shooter Robin Westman has been identified after the 23-year-old opened fire at a Minneapolis Catholic school, killing two children and wounding 18 others.
Westman, a transgender man, had recently ended a years-long relationship with 22-year-old Abigail Bodick, the Daily Mail reported. The outlet described Bodick as a “furry” and noted she was previously seen on social media wearing cat ears and whiskers at an anime convention earlier this year.
In disturbing writings linked to Westman, he repeatedly referred to someone named “Aby” or “Abbey,” describing them as both the “catalyst” for his violent impulses and the “root of my suffering.”
“I like feeling sexy and cute, but my face never matches how I feel. I hate my face… maybe that’s why I like furries so much,” Westman wrote in one entry. “You can give yourself a new body and face.”
Other notes revealed Westman’s growing resentment toward his ex.
“Aby is such a baby. I should have never started dating them,” he wrote. In another passage, he raged: “I am NOT spending my life with a ‘blue hair and pronouns’ having a– b—h. You are lucky I have bigger plans than you.”
Westman’s father confirmed to investigators that his son had recently “broke up with a significant and/or romantic partner.”
The shooter admitted in one entry that he had once aimed a gun at Bodick’s head, writing: “I just pointed my pistol at the back of Abbey’s head to see if I would feel anything. No, the only thing I felt was fear of them turning around and catching me. I felt no remorse or fear of killing them, I was only concerned about how murdering Abbey would really f–k up my plans.”
He went on to say: “It felt good, actually, to point it right at their stupid head. Abbey is so f–king stupid, I have been handling and walking with it holstered, exposed, all day, and they still think it’s airsoft. Dumbass b—h! It’s a real gun! I bought it to kill kids!”
The killer also fantasized about how Bodick might react once he carried out the attack. “I want to kill so many people. I will do it. All I want to think about is guns and killing. Abbey keeps me from that with their annoying voice and stupid s–t they say,” he wrote. “Let’s see how much you love me after I complete my mission!”
