At least three people were killed and the gunman was reported dead after a shooting at a private Christian school in Nashville on Monday.

The incident began just before 10:30 a.m. when officers received a call about a shooter at the Covenant School.

“An active shooter event has taken place at Covenant School, Covenant Presbyterian Church, on Burton Hills Dr,” Nashville Police said in a tweet. “The shooter was engaged by MNPD and is dead. Student reunification with parents is at Woodmont Baptist Church.”Police have yet to publicly identify the shooter or the victims.

Well this story will disappear from the headlines quickly. They've identified the suspect.

From another article:


The shooter was identified as Audrey Elizabeth Hale, a Nashville resident, who identified as transgender. Investigators were investigating a home connected to her. Nashville police Chief John Drake said Hale possibly prepared for the shooting.

She should have killed herself and left everybody else alone.

From another article:

Dick or vagina? :-k

[lost in melb.]

the suspect was born female but listed male pronouns on a LinkedIn profile, which suggested that the suspect was a transgender man....

So possibly a woman shooting up testosterone.

The Metro Nashville Police Department released security camera footage Monday evening that shows a school shooting at The Covenant School, where the suspected shooter, 28-year-old Audrey Hale, killed six people earlier in the day.

The video starts with an exterior camera showing Hale driving her silver Honda Fit through the shared parking lot of the school and Covenant Presbyterian Church at approximately 9:53 a.m. local time.

Hale then parks the vehicle just outside the scope of the cameras and approaches the building, which is located on Burton Hills Boulevard in Nashville.

The video then jumps to an interior camera, pointed at one of the entrances of the school. Hale approaches and fires a weapon shattering the double glass entry doors.

At approximately 10:11 a.m., Hale then enters the facility, walking through the shattered opening of the glass door and stepping into full view of the camera.

The shooter appears to be wearing a white short-sleeved t-shirt with a black vest over it. It is not immediately clear if the vest is tactical gear.

Hale also has glasses, a red baseball cap, gray urban camouflage pants, and shoes that are black and white. She is also seen bracing an AR-style weapon in her right arm with another weapon hanging down on her left side.

The newly released police footage shows Hale casually walking down various hallways and opening several doors. She also points the weapon at times, while keeping it lowered at others.

The first room she enters has a sign that reads, "Church Office." Hale, a former student at the private Presbyterian school, would have been familiar with at least some of its layout.

Hale walks through the same hallway intersection several times before emerging into an entrance lobby. She walks by a sign that reads, "Children's Ministry" and a vacated check-in desk with two Mac computers.

An alarm can be seen going off in the background as the footage ends.

Hale's rampage left three students, all 9 years old, and three faculty members dead. The rampage lasted approximately 14 minutes.

Police identified the victims as Evelyn Dieckhaus, 9, Hallie Scruggs, 9, William Kinney, 9, Cynthia Peak, 61, Katherine Koonce, 60, and Mike Hill, 61.

Responding police officers shot and killed Hale at the scene.

An investigation into the shooting is ongoing.

The swift and organized police response to the school shooting in Nashville, Tennessee, on Monday was roundly lauded by local officials and credited with preventing additional carnage and casualties.

A six-minute body camera video released Tuesday showed officers weaving through classrooms and corridors before approaching and neutralizing the shooter, who by then had shot and killed six people, including three students.

"They trained for that. And this moment happened and they didn’t hesitate at all," Metro Nashville Chief of Police John Drake said Tuesday on "Good Morning America."

He added, "They responded, immediately went inside, knew the danger that was going on. Shots were being fired at the police cars. That did not deter them. They went anyway inside."

The law enforcement response in Nashville stood in stark contrast with the events that unfolded last year at Robb Elementary School, where officers waited 77 minutes before confronting and killing the shooter.

John Cohen, a former Homeland Security official, veteran police training expert and ABC News contributor, reviewed and scrutinized body camera footage available from both incidents and found that the officers in Nashville did "exactly what we hope those who put on the badge will do when they confront a dangerous situation like an active shooter."

“As a law enforcement professional, I watched The Covenant School video with an intense sense of pride," Cohen said. "I know how hard those officers’ hearts are pumping and what that fear feels like. But this is why you sign up for the job. And they went in there and did it."

Cohen laid out several key points that demonstrated how the officers successfully responded. They communicated with school officials and immediately tried to assess the situation -- learning the number of suspects and determining where people were sheltered in place, he said. Moreover, officers operated with urgency and purpose to quickly clear rooms and communicate which rooms were cleared. After neutralizing the shooter, officers immediately formed security teams and began providing aid to the victims, he noted.

In Uvalde, responding law enforcement officials faced a deluge of scrutiny after a gunman shot and killed 21 people, including 19 students. After initially praising first responders for their efforts, state and local leaders eventually acknowledged cascading missteps that compounded the outcome of the attack.

"We failed," Col. Steve McCraw, director of the Texas Department of Public Safety, told ABC News. "And I say 'failed' and I said 'we' ... because collectively we did."

CBS News is reportedly ordering staff not to use the term "transgender" to describe the shooter responsible for Monday's horrific shooting at a private Christian school in Nashville that left six dead, including three 9-year-old children.

Police identified the shooter as a 28-year-old transgender and did not rule out that gender identity may have been a factor in a manifesto that was left behind, but network executives issued a memo to employees urging them to stay away from such coverage, according to The New York Post.

"The shooter’s gender identity has not been confirmed by CBS News. As such, we should avoid any mention of it as it has no known relevance to the crime. Should that change, we can and will revisit," the memo read, per The New York Post.

The memo continued, "Right now we advise saying: POLICE IDENTIFIED THE SUSPECT AS A 28-YEAR-OLD AUDREY HALE, WHO THEY SHOT AND KILLED AT THE SCENE. And move on to focus on other important points of the investigation, community and solutions."

The directive was issued on a Tuesday morning editorial call by CBS News newsgathering vice president Ingrid Ciprian-Matthews and standards and practices senior vice president Claudia Milne.

Grabien transcripts show that "CBS Evening News" did mention how authorities revealed that the shooter identified as transgender on Monday's broadcast but made no mention of it on Tuesday and Wednesday. However, CBS News anchor Norah O'Donnell did use female pronouns for the shooter on Tuesday.

CBS News did not immediately respond to Fox News' request for comment.

There's been an effort by some media organizations to deflect the shooter being transgender as being a potential factor in Monday's mass shooting.

NBC News went even further with its coverage, suggesting trans people are the real victim of Nashville's massacre instead of the students and staff of the private Christian school running the headline "Fear pervades Tennessee's trans community amid focus on Nashville shooter's gender identity."

The report quoted members of the local LGBTQ community who fear the backlash following the shooting may put them in danger.

Meanwhile, there have been growing calls for law enforcement to release the shooter's manifesto that may shed light on the motivation of the Nashville massacre. Others have urged that the murders should be investigated as a hate crime targeting Christians.

Good to know that they are worried about the transgender people and not the Christian kids that were murdered.

The Metro Nashville Police Department (MNPD) provided an update Monday afternoon on its ongoing investigation into the mass shooting at a Christian elementary school one week ago, revealing that the shooter planned the massacre months in advance.

Last Monday, a 28-year-old trans-identifying woman shot her way into the Covenant School in Nashville before she murdered three staff members and three 9-year-old children. Authorities said in a press release that “from all information currently available,” the shooter “acted totally alone,” and revealed that she had planned the massacre at the Covenant School months “over a period of months.”

MNPD said it is continuing to review “collective writings” found in the mass murderer’s vehicle and bedroom. The shooter, a former student at the Covenant School, documented plans in journals, which revealed her considerations and timeline for the attack at the school. Authorities added that the shooter was influenced by the actions of previous mass shooters, but said that they still have not established a motive. The writings, which include her “manifesto,” are under investigation by both the MNPD and the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit.

“The motive for [the shooter’s] actions has not been established and remains under investigation by the Homicide Unit in consultation with the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit. It is known that [the shooter] considered the actions of other mass murderers,” MNPD said.

Last week, police revealed that the shooter, a female who recently identified as a male, was receiving care for an “emotional disorder.” A source close to the family told The Daily Beast that the shooter was also autistic but was “high-functioning.”

The shooter legally purchased seven firearms from gun stores around the Nashville area, police said last week. She carried two rifles and one handgun when she breached the Covenant School.

Investigators found that from the time the shooter entered the school until she was killed by police, she fired a total of 152 rounds, 126 5.56 rifle rounds and 26 nine millimeter rounds. Within minutes, the shooter was located by a team of MNPD officers on the second floor of the school before she was killed by officers Rex Engelbert and Michael Collazo 14 minutes after the first 911 call was made. Engelbert dropped the shooter, firing four 5.56 rifle rounds at her before Collazo unloaded another four rounds from his nine millimeter pistol.

Katherine Koonce, the head of the Covenant School, was shot and killed in the hallway outside her office. MNPD Chief John Drake said it’s “very possible” Koonce was fatally shot when she confronted the shooter in the hallway. Mike Hill, a 61-year custodian and father of seven, was killed when the shooter fired through the glass doors to enter the building, Drake said.

The other victims included Evelyn Dieckhaus, Hallie Scruggs, and William Kinney, all 9 years old, and substitute teacher Cynthia Peak, who was 61.
