Westman, too, expressed fascination with âfurries,â writing in the manifesto that the costumes provided a way to escape feelings of self-hatred.
âI like feeling sexy and cute, but my face never matches how I feel. I hate my face. Maybe thatâs why I like furries so much. You can give yourself a new body and face,â Westman wrote.
But videos from the time also carried darkerundertones. In one clip from a camping trip, Westman could be seen grinning while handling what was described as a âfakeâ firearm.

The most chilling details came from Westmanâs journalentriesmany of which were written in Cyrillic, where Bodick was repeatedly described as a âcatalystâ and the âroot of my suffering.â
At times, the writings veered into alarming territory, with Westman admitting to pointing a firearm at Bodickâs head weeks before the attack.
âI just pointed my pistol at the back of Abbeyâs head to see if I would feel anything,â Westman reportedly wrote.

âNo, the only thing I felt was fear of them turning around and catching me. I felt no remorse or fear of k**ling them, I was only concerned about how m**dering Abbey would really f**k up my plans.â
Other passages showedresentment toward Bodickâs family, who were described by Westman as ârude trailer park white trash.â
In one disturbing note, Westman suggested that people like Bodickâs relatives should not have children.

âYour family reminds me of why some innocent people have to d**. You f**kers are not criminals or bad people, itâs just that sometimes people like you need to d** so you donât breed,â Westman wrote.
The shooterâs writings alternated between bitter accusations, violent fantasies, and reflections on the breakup, according to theNew York Post.
âI am NOT spending my life with a âblue hair and pronounsâ having a** b**ch. You are lucky I have bigger plans than you,â one entry read.

One thing that was evident in themanifesto was that Westman was intent on hurting Bodick.
âI want to see the look of horror and tears on their face as they realize what a monster I am. If I feel like I could do it, I would then s**b them in the heart many times and go commit my final act.
âI want to k**l so many people. I will do it. All I want to think about is (firearms) and k**ling. Abbey keeps me from that with their annoying voice and stupid s**t they say,â Westman wrote.

Westman pondered how Bodick would feel once news of the planned attack spread.
âI hope everyone blames you for making me do this. Itâs your fault. Letâs see how much you love me after I complete my mission!
âNow imagine you find out your partner did not just snap one day, but instead had been planning it all out, right under your nose. For months!â Westman wrote.

The shooter even pondered if the attack should take place on Bodickâs birthday.
âI was thinking it would be hilarious if I did my attack on Abbeyâs birthday! If I donât k**l them, that would forever ruin their birthday! But their B-day is also my momâs birthday so⊠I donât want to do that,â Westman wrote.

It should be noted that Bodick had no involvement in Westmanâs harrowing attack. Instead, Bodick has become an unwilling figure in the aftermath, thanks to their past history with Westman.
The attack itself left the Minneapolis community and the internet shocked. Eight-year-old Fletcher Merkel and ten-year-old Harper Moyski were lost in the shooting.
The incident also injured more than a dozen children and parishioners during a back-to-school Mass. Westman also passed due to a self-inflicted wound.
