Transgender Ideology Violence

Tumbler Ridge school shooting (British Columbia, Feb 2026) — identity claim supported

A former student, Jesse Van Rootselaar, carried out a mass shooting at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School after violence at a home connected to the case; the community suffered multiple deaths and injuries.
Reporting and subsequent coverage note that the shooter was trans, and the case triggered a wave of online misidentifications and harassment of unrelated trans people.

A shooter identified as Robin Westman opened fire during an all-school Mass at Annunciation Catholic Church/School in Minneapolis, killing children and injuring others before dying at the scene.
Multiple accounts describe Westman as assigned male at birth and as having identified as transgender at some point; reporting also emphasizes that motive was under investigation and quickly became politicized in public commentary.

Audrey (Aiden) Hale, a former student, carried out a planned attack at The Covenant School (linked to Covenant Presbyterian Church), killing three children and three adults, before being killed by police.
Police and major reporting described Hale as transgender (commonly reported as a trans man).

A gunman attacked Club Q, killing and injuring patrons; the case proceeded through state and federal charges.
Defense attorneys submitted a court filing saying the defendant identifies as nonbinary and uses they/them; prosecutors publicly treated it as irrelevant to prosecution. This is why the “nonbinary” label is often described as contested in commentary (it originates in defense filings).

Two students opened fire at STEM School Highlands Ranch, killing Kendrick Castillo and injuring others; both perpetrators were convicted/sentenced.
One of the shooters, Alec McKinney, was widely reported in court coverage as a transgender boy.

Snochia Moseley shot multiple co-workers at a Rite Aid distribution center, killing three people before dying from self-inflicted gunshot wounds.
Coverage noted that friends referred to Moseley as a transgender man (this detail is typically attributed to acquaintances/press reporting, not a formal identity statement by the shooter).

Charlie Kirk was fatally shot during an event at Utah Valley University; Tyler Robinson was charged, and prosecutors described texts, planning, and other evidence supporting the case.
Reporting indicates Robinson texted a partner/roommate about the shooting and that investigators looked at Robinson’s relationship as part of possible motive.
Claims that the partner/roommate was trans / undergoing transition are reported by some outlets and attributed to sources and public statements (e.g., Axios describes sources and cites remarks from Utah Gov. Spencer Cox), but this is separate from proving anything about the shooter’s own identity.

An attacker attempted to assassinate Donald Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania; the FBI identified the shooter as Thomas Matthew Crooks, who was killed at the scene.
Claims about they/them pronouns, “furry” interest, or exploring gender identity circulated heavily online; fact-checking and reporting emphasize that much of the identity narrative online was misinformation or unproven relative to what officials confirmed.
