The 23-year-old maniac, who slaughtered two children and injured 18 other people at a Minneapolis Catholic school, had only recently called it quits with his partner of several years before last week’s bloodshed, his dad previously revealed.
The ex has been identified by the Daily Mail as 22-year-old Abigail Bodick, who was previously pictured on social media wearing cat ears and whiskers at an anime convention earlier this year.
In the series of sick documents linked to Westman after the shooting, Westman had repeatedly referred to a person named “Aby” and “Abbey” — calling them a “catalyst” for his deranged behavior and the “root of my suffering.”
He also wrote about being fascinated by “furries,” people who enjoy dressing up as cartoonish animals.
“I like feeling sexy and cute, but my face never matches how I feel. I hate my face… maybe that’s why I like furries so much,” he wrote. “You can give yourself a new body and face.”
Several social media photos obtained by the Mail — dating back to at least 2022 — showed the couple posing together in happier times.
The smiling couple was pictured selling items at a craft event, dressing up for a local Renaissance fair and visiting an aquarium together.
It wasn’t exactly clear when they ended things. However, Westman’s father told investigators after the shooting that his son recently “broke up with a significant and/or romantic partner.”
Westman penned a slew of unhinged entries before the shooting, saying he wished he’d never met his ex.
“Aby is such a baby. I should have never started dating them,” Westman wrote.
“I am NOT spending my life with a ‘blue hair and pronouns’ having a– b—h. You are lucky I have bigger plans than you,” the gunman said in another.
In addition to describing the girlfriend as a “catalyst” and the “root of my suffering,” Westman also admitted in one entry that he’d pointed a gun at the back of his ex’s head in the weeks before the shooting.
“I just pointed my pistol at the back of Abbey’s head to see if I would feel anything,” he reportedly wrote.
In addition to describing the girlfriend as a “catalyst” and the “root of my suffering,” Westman also admitted in one entry that he’d pointed a gun at the back of his ex’s head in the weeks before the shooting.
“No, the only thing I felt was fear of them turning around and catching me. I felt no remorse or fear of killing them, I was only concerned about how murdering Abbey would really f–k up my plans,” he continued.
“It felt good, actually, to point it right at their stupid head. Abbey is so f–king stupid, I have been handling and walking with it holstered, exposed, all day, and they still think it’s airsoft.
“Dumbass b—h! It’s a real gun! I bought it to kill kids!”
The twisted gunman also, at one point, mused about how his ex would react to the horror he had planned.
“I want to kill so many people. I will do it. All I want to think about is guns and killing. Abbey keeps me from that with their annoying voice and stupid s–t they say,” he reportedly wrote.
“Let’s see how much you love me after I complete my mission!”
