Transgender Woman, Audrey Hale Responsible For Mass Sh00ting At Convenant School Which Left Many De@d (Details)
Nashville police have shared photo of Covenant school shooter who killed six, including three nine-year-old children and three staff members.
Audrey Hale, 28, is a transgender woman and alumnus of the school who wrote out her plans in a detailed manifesto.
Police shared a picture of the Honda Fit she drove to The Covenant School and announced they’d found ‘additional material’ written by Hale from the manifesto she’d left.
They also posted photos of the doors of the school, which Hale had shot out in order to gain entry. Police confirmed the glass doors had been locked when Hale arrived.
Hale also allegedly had planned out an attack on another school but decided not to attack there after believing there was too much security, according to Nashville Police Chief John Drake in a Monday afternoon press conference.
At around 10.13am, she opened fire at The Covenant School, shooting and killing nine-year-old Evelyn Dieckhaus, Hallie Scruggs and William Kinney.
Substitute teacher Cynthia Peak, 61, head of school Katherine Koonce, 60, and custodian Mike Hill, 61, were also killed.
Koonce worked alongside her daughter at The Covenant School. Anna Koonce serves as a faculty/student assistant.
Cops said Hale was transgender, although they haven’t specified further details and referred to her as a woman. Hale was born female, but a LinkedIn profile believed to be hers uses he/him pronouns, suggesting Hale was living as a man.
It’s unclear what Hale’s motive was, but police believe she attended the school at some point.
The shooter has left behind a manifesto, the chief said, that Drake thinks will give them a motive into the massacre, the 129th in the United States in 2023.
She had detailed, drawn maps of the school and had been surveilling it, according to police.
