That kid is a hero, and he has the gratitude of his friend, who told this incredible story to the press in the aftermath of the tragic shooting that occurred Wednesday at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis. Robert “Robin” Westman, a man who identified as a woman, opened fire during a mass commemorating the start of the new school year.
Weston Halsne, 10, told reporters that when shots rang out—Westman fired through the stained glass—his friend dove on top of him, protecting him. He was struck in the back. The good news is that everyone injured in the attack is expected to survive. Seventeen people, 14 children and three adults, were injured. Tragically, two children, ages 8 and 10, were killed. Westman committed suicide before police could make an arrest.
