Nashville School Shooting: 6 Dead, Suspect Killed



Published:

On March 27, 2023, a mass shooting occurred at The Covenant School, a Presbyterian private school in the Green Hills neighborhood of Nashville, Tennessee. Six people were killed as well as the perpetrator. Three children and three staff members were the victims.

The shooter, identified as Audrey Hale, 28, was a former student at the school. She was killed by police officers who responded to the shooting.

The motive for the shooting is still under investigation, but police believe that Hale may have been motivated by revenge. Hale may have been angry about being expelled from the school and had been threatening to harm students and staff members.

Hale was under care for an emotional disorder and had legally bought seven firearms locally, police said. She had also drawn detailed maps of the school, including the entry points to the building.

The attack was targeted and involved prior planning, police said. The shooter had sent an ominous message to childhood friend Averianna Patton on Instagram, Patton told CNN on Tuesday.

The shooting has left the Nashville community reeling. The Covenant School is a well-respected school in the area, and the victims were all well-known and loved. 

The shooting began at 10:20 a.m. when Hale entered the school through a side door and began firing. She fired multiple shots, killing three children and three adults. Officers arrived on the scene and exchanged gunfire with Hale. She was killed at 10:27 a.m.

The Nashville shooting is a tragedy that has left the community heartbroken.

Yes, this was bad news to hear. I heard that this person was a transgender female. It is possible she had some rejection, being this a Christian school. What if this Presbyterian Church, did not allow that type of lifestyle. We’ll find out a little more as they get more information.

How did she get expelled from a K-6 school 6 years ago when she's 28 now? Something's off with the info there. Maybe it meant 2007.

Female identifying as a male. They said she was bullied because of her choices in this area.

It also sounds like the transition was fairly recent, though, so quite possibly after leaving school.

Reports on this assumption don't all agree. There are varying timelines. Remember, I live right here in the area, and I get a LOT of the information. I also know one of the reporters from NBC's affiliate here. I don't think anyone knows the exact time she "transitioned."  Plus, the MSM is making the shooter the "victim" in many of their reports, mocking prayer and Christianity. This is unacceptable on their part.

I've mentioned where I live often enough. But, I forget that you are a Canadian.?
