Transgender killer who murdered three kids and three adults at a Christian school had a manifesto and maps of the building

A 28-year-old transgender woman, Audrey Hale, was identified as the shooter who killed six people, including three children aged nine, at a private Christian school in Nashville, Tennessee, on Monday. Hale, who was once a student at the Covenant School, was shot dead by police after a confrontation with officers following the attack. Hale had a manifesto and detailed maps of the school, and entered the building by shooting through a door before the killings.

According to Nashville Police Chief John Drake, Hale's manifesto contained writings that pertained to the day of the incident and how it was all going to take place. Drake said that police believe that Hale identified as trans, but they are still investigating if it actually played a role in the motive behind the massacre. Drake did not say why police believe Hale was transgender.

The six victims have been named as Evelyn Dieckhaus, Hallie Scruggs, and William Kinney, all aged nine, 61-year-olds Cynthia Peak and Mike Hill, and 60-year-old Katherine Koonce who was the school's headteacher. The three children, who were all students, were pronounced dead after they arrived at hospital. The attacker died after being "engaged by" officers, police said in a Twitter post.

Police said that Hale was armed with two assault-type weapons and a handgun. Officers started receiving reports of an attack at 10.13am (4.13pm UK time) and as police began clearing the ground floor of the school they heard gunfire coming from the second floor. Two officers from a five-member team opened fire in response and fatally shot the suspect at 10.27am (4.27pm).

The Covenant School is a private Christian school that teaches students up to sixth grade (around 12 years old). Hale was a former student there, but it is not clear when or why Hale left the school. Some of Hale's former classmates said that Hale did not directly come out to them as trans or talk about gender identity. However, some also said that Hale was bullied and ostracized by some students and teachers for being different.

The gender identity of the suspect has become one of the central storylines in a horrific tragedy that has sparked polarizing reactions and disinformation. Some on the far right rushed to blame the shooting on the suspect's gender identity, while some on the left pointed to an already combustible political environment in which transgender people have become a frequent target of right-wing lawmakers and pundits.

US President Joe Biden called Monday's attack "sick" and "heartbreaking". He said the US needs to do more to protect schools and he called on the Senate to pass the assault weapons ban - which would criminalise the knowing sale, manufacture, transfer, possession or importation of many types of semi-automatic weapons and large-capacity magazines.
