Mass shootings committed by transgender individuals are extremely rare.
  Data indicates that less than 1% of mass shootings in the U.S. over the past decade were carried out by transgender individuals.


 But what we need to figure out is what percentage of transgender identifying humans kill other humans.  The number of mass shootings caused by transgender identifying humans will remain low because they are such a small percentage of the overall population.

Hold up, let’s define mass shootings.

In this context, we’re talking about RANDOM mass school shootings. We’re not including situations where two people in a dispute shoot on school ground where multiple people are hit. Those are two vastly different scenarios.

We’re talking about when someone goes into a public space and randomly shoots people.

Now take another look at the numbers.

There’s more. Grok can’t find them all. But at least 2 of the last 7 had gender issues.


Analysis of Perpetrators in the Seven Incidents
1.  Red Lake Senior High School (March 21, 2005)
     •  Perpetrator: Jeffrey Weise, 16-year-old male.
     •  Gender Identity/Issues: No evidence suggests Weise self-identified as a gender other than male or reported gender issues. Reports describe him as a loner with depression and fascination with violence, but no mention of gender dysphoria or non-binary/transgender identity exists in available sources.

2.  Sandy Hook Elementary School (December 14, 2012)
     •  Perpetrator: Adam Lanza, 20-year-old male.
     •  Gender Identity/Issues: No credible reports indicate Lanza self-identified as a gender other than male or had gender issues. The Connecticut State Attorney’s report and other sources note Lanza’s struggles with OCD, depression, anxiety, and isolation, but nothing related to gender identity or dysphoria.,,

     •  Perpetrator: Nikolas Cruz, 19-year-old male.

4.  Santa Fe High School (May 18, 2018)
     •  Perpetrator: Dimitrios Pagourtzis, 17-year-old male.
     •  Gender Identity/Issues: No reports indicate Pagourtzis self-identified as a gender other than male or had gender issues. Investigations highlight his social isolation and possible bullying but no gender-related motives or identity issues.

5.  Robb Elementary School (Uvalde, May 24, 2022)
     •  Perpetrator: Salvador Ramos, 18-year-old male.
     •  Gender Identity/Issues: False rumors circulated post-shooting claiming Ramos was transgender, based on misidentified photos of trans women on platforms like 4chan and amplified by figures like Rep. Paul Gosar and Candace Owens.,,, Official reports from police and Texas officials confirm Ramos was a cisgender male with no evidence of self-identifying as another gender or reporting gender issues. He was bullied for a speech impediment and posted a photo wearing eyeliner, which sparked misinformation, but no verified gender-related issues exist.,,

6.  The Covenant School (Nashville, March 27, 2023)
     •  Perpetrator: Aiden Hale (born Audrey Elizabeth Hale), 28-year-old.
     •  Gender Identity/Issues: Hale, assigned female at birth, identified as transgender, using he/him pronouns and the name Aiden, as confirmed by Nashville police and media reports.,, Hale’s writings and social media indicated a male gender identity, and police noted they were investigating whether gender identity was related to the motive, though no definitive link was established., The shooter’s transgender identity was widely reported, though some outlets misgendered Hale or used the birth name Audrey, complicating coverage., This case meets your criteria for self-identifying as a gender other than biological sex.

7.  Annunciation Catholic School (Minneapolis, August 27, 2025)
     •  Perpetrator: Robin Westman, 23-year-old.
     •  Gender Identity/Issues: Westman, assigned female at birth, identified as non-binary and used they/them pronouns, as confirmed by police reports and the shooter’s own writings.,, Social media and a 30-minute video posted before the attack referenced gender identity struggles, alongside violent obsessions and references to past mass shooters., This case meets your criteria for self-identifying as a gender other than biological sex and reporting gender issues.

Summary and Count
•  Cases Meeting Criteria: Two perpetrators out of the seven incidents self-identified as a gender other than their biological sex or reported gender issues:
     1.  Covenant School (2023): Aiden Hale identified as transgender (male, assigned female at birth).
     2.  Annunciation Catholic School (2025): Robin Westman identified as non-binary (used they/them pronouns, assigned female at birth) and reported gender-related struggles.
•  Cases Not Meeting Criteria: Five perpetrators (Weise, Lanza, Cruz, Pagourtzis, Ramos) have no verified evidence of self-identifying as a gender other than their biological sex or reporting gender issues. Misinformation, particularly in the Uvalde case, was debunked by multiple sources.

It was difficult. I had Grok disregard the standard definition of mass shooting which made it hard to get shootings similar to Minneapolis for example.
