The Shooting Plan
The heavily armed attacker at Nashville school, a former student, who killed six including three children came with a careful planning to attack the private elementary school, before being shot by the police.
As per a report by AFP, Chief of Police John Drake named the suspect as Audrey Hale, 28, who the officer later said identified as transgender.
According to the police officer, Hale came with a manifesto, maps of the school with details of surveillance and entry-exit points and was “prepared for a confrontation with law
Suspect’s Shooting Plot
He said the suspect was likely plotting a bigger attack as the manifesto “indicates that there was going to be shootings at multiple locations, and the school was one of them."
Hale entered the Covenant School, a Christian academy, with at least two assault rifles and a handgun from a side entrance and allegedly shot through a door, firing multiple shots while advancing through the building, as per the police.
There was confusion regarding the gender identity of the suspect as officials addressed her as “she” and “her” while a LinkedIn profile appeared to identify Hale as a man. Drake later identified the suspect as transgender.
Of the three children killed in the attack, one was eight years old and two were aged nine, while the adults were aged 60 to 61. One of the victims, identified as Katherine Koonce, is listed as head of the school on the academy’s website, as per AFP report.

Reacting to the latest incident of mass shooting in his country, President Joe Biden called it “sick” and said gun violence was tearing the nation's "soul," as he urged Congress to pass a ban on the assault weapons often used in mass shootings.
"It's ripping our communities apart, ripping the soul of this nation," he said.
