An NPR host issued a clarification Wednesday after Sen. Amy Klobuchar , D-Minn., referred to the Annunciation Catholic School shooter in Minneapolis as a “he” during an interview with the outlet.

In an interview with NPR host Ailsa Chang, conducted hours after the killings, Klobuchar used male pronouns to refer to the deceased shooter.

After the interview ended, Chang noted the gender of the shooter was “unclear.”

“And just a point of clarification, Sen. Klobuchar referenced the shooter as ‘he.’ Although police have identified a suspect, it’s still unclear at this time what that person’s gender is or how they identify,” Chang told listeners.

Police have identified 23-year-old Robin Westman as the suspect who killed two children and injured 17 others during morning Mass.
