Audrey Hale: Nashville Covenant School Shooting

The Covenant School

Covenant Presbyterian Church in Nashville Tennessee

Address: 33 Burton Hills Blvd, Nashville, TN 37215, United States

At approximately 10:13 am on 3/27/2023 a shooter entered the school through a side entrance and went to a second floor where SHE, yes SHE was able to kill 3 adults and 3 children. Including the Head of the School Katherine Koonce. The woman had 2 semi automatic rifles and a pistol, the 2 “assault” rifles were obtained illegally.

The Shooter was shot dead by about 10:30 by Police. Police say Audrey Hale had no criminal history and was from the area of Nashville Tennessee. This attack seemed planed as the the shooter not only had maps of the school but many rounds of ammunition.

“We have a manifesto, we have some writings that we’re going over that pertain to this date, the actual incident,” he said. “We have a map drawn out of how this was all going to take place.”

“Our investigation tells us she was a former student at the school. I don’t know what grade she attended, or grades, but we do firmly believe she was a student there.”

Metropolitan Nashville Police Chief John Drake said “there is some theory” they are investigating about whether Hale’s Trans identity connects to the motive for the shooting, but he said he would provide that at a later date.

The school where the shooting took place had approximately 200 students and 33 teachers. As of right now there aren’t as many loud voices championing gun grabs but I’m sure in the days to follow that narrative will take hold.

If I truly believed that would solve the issue I would be all for it but in this situation as many other crimes the guns were obtained illegally. This however is the only woman school shooter that I can remember which leads me to believe the mental health crisis in America just continues to get worse. For many years since the shudder of our mental health institutions America has turned a blind eye to our Mental Health Crisis. It’s about time we stop because this is only getting worse.
