[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] More on this story from yesterday, with the usual photos and videos.
  • Audrey Hale, 28, used to be a student at The Covenant school in Nashville: on Monday, Hale attacked the school, shooting dead three children and three staff

  • Cops said Hale, born female, was transgender - although they didn't specify details: they said 'resentment at having to attend the school' was a factor

#25  It was the only school that was targeted. There was another location that was mentioned , but because of a threat assessment by the suspect — too much security — decided not to in another area of Nashville. So we’re continuing with that investigation as well.

#23  “She was under care, doctor’s care, for an emotional disorder,” Nashville police chief John Drake said at a press conference on Tuesday.

“Her parents felt that she should not own weapons,” the chief added.

[Most of the American media outlets headlined this with the news that the suspect had purchased and hidden seven firearms rather than the mental-health information. CNN was a notable exception on this, however. Once again, we have another mass shooting in which mental-health issues were known, and red flags had already appeared. Did anyone take steps to intervene? That question needs to be answered. — Ed]

#21  There's a big difference between the suicide that does it quietly alone and the one who wants to take as many with them as possible.

"See what you made me do" is bullshit.

#19  Nashville school shooter Audrey Hale sent a friend a chilling “suicide note” minutes before slaughtering three children and three adults – writing her: “I’m planning to die today.”

Hale, 28, messaged Averianna Patton, her former middle school basketball teammate, on Instagram at 9:57 a.m. Monday, NewsChannel 5 reported.

“So basically that post I made on here about you, that was basically a suicide note. I’m planning to die today,” Hale wrote, using the name Aiden, according to messages Patton gave the outlet.

[Once again, we have suicidal ideation from mental illness in conjunction with a mass shooting. It’s not the gun — it’s the mental illness and a society that appears to be producing more and more of it. — Ed]

#18  If K-6, that's some 16+ years ago. That's a long time to just suddenly flip out, and then be very deliberate. And if she did have a bad trauma, who there was at the school back then and caused that trauma? Certainly not the 9 year olds.

And if its true that her car with the shitty windows stickers was seen staking out other similar targets, then the fact she attended this school is just coincidence.

I'm saying answered a call to violence. Not trauma, not flip out, but a hit.

#17  The school was founded around 2000 so she could be an alum.

#16  Bodycam footage from the cops released. Definitely not the Uvaldi types of cops.

#15  Still waiting on the Uvalde shooter's 'hobbies and lifestyle' page, though it looks like Nashville isn't being coy.

Gets a booth at childrens' toy and book fair. Murders children.

Am I correct this is a grade school, so how long ago was she a student there?

#6  pistol with a long barrel

#5  One of the shooter's "AR-15s" was actually a KelTec pistol caliber carbine, ie a 9mm pistol with a barrel and a folding stock.

Not an AR.

Also, the stickers on all the guns were a cute touch.

"...she was seen... " should read as "...IT was seen..."
