The attacker who opened fire on pupils as they were praying at a church in Minneapolis was "obsessed with the idea of killing children", US officials have said.
Robin Westman, who killed two children and injured 18 others, did not seem to have any specific motive, according to Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara.
The attacker "appeared to hate all of us", the chief said on Thursday, adding: "More than anything, the shooter wanted to kill children".
The murdered children have been identified by family as Fletcher Merkel, eight, and Harper Moyski, 10.
