Infowars’ Shroyer Calls Tragedy a Victory
Shroyer celebrated a supposed “victory” while families mourned at Annunciation Catholic School.
InfoWars host Owen Shroyer called it an “unbelievable victory.” The timing made the remark jarring. Hours earlier, a gunman had opened fire during Mass at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, killing two children and wounding several others.
“God bless Infowars. Unbelievable victory today,” Shroyer said on air, claiming that media reports about the shooter’s transgender identity marked a “paramount moment” that “beat the institutional cover-up.” He even compared it to “hitting back-to-back grand slams.”
The reaction in the studio was uneasy. Former FBI agent Kyle Seraphin, co-hosting with Shroyer, cut in. Calling the coverage a win, he said, felt grotesque when families were mourning children who would never come home.
Authorities identified the shooter as Robin Westman. Investigators are weighing whether the attack, carried out during a morning Mass, qualifies as a hate crime against Catholics.
Shroyer, who served 60 days in jail for his role in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, seemed more intent on highlighting what he called a “cover-up” of the shooter’s identity than on the violence itself. Seraphin pushed back once more: “It doesn’t feel like a win, knowing that there’s kids who didn’t survive this.”
