Planned. Alright so it was planned. Should this have surprised anyone?
If you’re still sending your children to even a parochial school, if the management yet haven’t got the idea through their thick heads that they have a target painted on them and thus have an active security program, get your child out of there and take the financial hit to home school them.

Transgender Nashville school shooter had detailed manifesto, map of Christian school, police confirm

Police said during a Monday press conference that the person who killed six including three children at the Covenant Christian school in Nashville was a former student of the academy, Audrey Hale, who identified as transgender and had left a detailed manifesto with plans on how to conduct the attack at the school.

Hale entered the building by shooting through a door on the side, police said. Once inside, Hale reportedly began firing at anyone in sight.

Among the victims were three 9-year-old children, Evelyn Dieckhaus, Hallie Scruggs, and William Kinney, as well as custodian Mike Hill, substitute teacher Cynthia Peak, and school head Katherine Koonce.

Metropolitan police arrived quickly, and Hale was killed after an encounter with officers on the second floor just four minutes into the shooting.

Officers found that Hale was equipped with at least two rifles and a handgun, and a search of the family home in Nashville revealed detailed maps and a manifesto of the attack.

The police are investigating whether Hale’s identity as a trans person played a role in the deadly shooting. They are also in contact with the suspect’s father and plan to release video footage of the shooting in the coming days.
