The mother of transgender Minneapolis mass shooter Robin Westman is not cooperating with police in the investigation — and has hired a criminal defense attorney in the wake of the deadly shooting killed two young children and injured 18 others. 

Mary Grace Westman, who worked at Annunciation Catholic School, which was targeted by the deranged 23-year-old gunman Wednesday morning, has not contacted police — nor responded to their attempts to reach her, Minneapolis police announced at a press conference Thursday. 

He provided no further details on the communications, but revealed police executed four search warrants on Wednesday and retrieved hundreds of pieces of evidence, including electronic devices.  

“We have not been successful in talking to the shooter’s mother,” Police Chief Brian O’Hara said. 

“She is completely distraught about the situation and has no culpability but is seeking an attorney to deal with calls like this,” said Westman attorney Ryan Garry. 

The Westmans have close ties to the school and were parishioners at the church. Mary Westman worked at the school until her 2021 retirement. Robert “Robin,” who identified as a female, also attended the school. Authorities finally said that the videos posted on Westman’s YouTube account were authentic.
