The Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara has stated that authorities have not been able to determine a specific motive for the shooting at Annunciation Catholic School carried out by a transgender individual. Despite the existence of a manifesto and video evidence showing anti-Christian and anti-Catholic messages, as well as a magazine with the phrase "KILL DONALD TRUMP," the police have not identified a clear motive. The shooter, who attended the Catholic school, expressed hatred toward various groups, but officials have not explicitly linked this to the attack. The FBI has confirmed the presence of anti-Catholic and anti-Christian references in the shooter's manifesto and firearms. Police have also been unable to speak with the shooter's mother. Chief O'Hara has indicated that efforts are ongoing to identify a specific motive but reiterated that none has been established more than 24 hours after the incident.
