Westman shot through the windows of Annunciation Church at 8:30 a.m. as students were at Mass during the opening days of the school year, police said.
Two students, ages 8 and 10, were killed and 17 others injured. Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara said the shooter had a rifle, a shotgun and a pistol and fired inside the church from all three weapons.
