A chilling wave of grief swept through Nashville when Audrey Hale, a deranged transgender school shooter, infiltrated The Covenant School three months ago and opened fire. This heinous act led to the tragic loss of six lives, including three nine-year-olds, Evelyn Dieckhaus, Hallie Scruggs, William Kinney, and adults Cynthia Peak, Katherine Koonce, and Mike Hill, all above 60. Swift intervention by the police brought the horrific incident to a halt, with Hale meeting her end at their hands. Brent Leatherwood, President of the Southern Baptist Convention’s Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC), was personally embroiled in this tragedy as his...

. Where’s the Nashville Shooter’s Manifesto? The one the FBi didn’t want to be released?

The parents of transgender Nashville shooter Audrey Hale have informed a court that they wish to release the contents of Hale's manifesto to the children who attend the school that was the site of the incident. Ronald and Norma Hale claim intestate possession of their daughter's documents, according to the Tennessee Star, and have argued that they have the right to provide any party they see fit ownership of the materials. They have further indicated that they would give those materials to the children who attended the school. Intestacy laws establish an order of priority for the inheritance of a...

NASHVILLE – A court filing made by The Covenant School’s legal team on Monday seeks to intervene in ongoing lawsuits that demand the public release of shooter Audrey Hale‘s writings. The National Police Association (NPA) and Tennessee Firearms Association (TFA) have separately filed suits against the city with the same objective. These lawsuits emerged as the Metro Nashville Police Department (MNPD) was in the process of reviewing the writings, referred to as a manifesto, to determine their potential for public disclosure. The school argues that the release of the information “could pose security and safety risks for the school, its...

When Audrey Hale shot her way into Nashville’s Covenant School on March 27 and murdered three adults and three nine-year-old children, attention immediately focused on her “manifesto” as possibly having the answer to the anguished “why?” question. Hale was clearly a seriously troubled young woman who had previously attended the school. She was also undergoing gender transition drug treatments, a fact that made the contents of her manifesto even more intensely of public interest. Such treatments are typically associated with a psychological condition known as “gender dysphoria.” Local authorities initially said the manifesto would be made public in due time,...

A judge has called on the Nashville government to provide unredacted copies of a mass school shooter's manifesto for review by the court. The call for documents comes as part of the Tennessee Firearms Association (TFA) lawsuit against the city regarding the release of the manifesto belonging to The Covenant School shooter Audrey Hale. Hale took the lives of three 9-year-old children and three adult staff members on March 27 of this year. The TFA, alongside former Hamilton County Sheriff James Hammond, filed a lawsuit against the government with the hopes of a court order to disclose the manifesto .

The National Police Association has filed a lawsuit in a bid to make trans Nashville school shooter Audrey Hale's manifesto public. Hale's manifesto has remained shrouded in secrecy since the March 27 massacre at Covenant Christian Academy that killed three children and three school workers, with the gunwoman also shot dead by cops. But on April 28, NPA Head Ed Hutchinson and Tennessee investigator Clata Renee Brewer filed the suit with Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County. They subsequently issued an amended complaint on Friday blasting the 'absurd' decision to withhold the manifesto once more because of pending litigation....

In March, Audrey Hale shocked the nation by opening fire at The Covenant School in Nashville, Tennessee. The police soon acknowledged that they had a manifesto from Hale on why she took this inexplicable and horrific action. We all then waited for the release of the manifesto. We are still waiting. It is not uncommon for there to be a delay in the release of information in a major crime pending investigation. What was weird is that the police quickly confirmed that Hale acted alone and Hale was dead. There is no prosecution that will occur in the case. Yet,...

The manifesto left by the Nashville mass shooter, Audrey Hale, is expected to be made public by the police. The writings were obtained by the Metro Nashville Police Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation as part of the investigation into the murders of three children and three staff members at the Covenant School on March 27. The general public and several Tennessee lawmakers have been urging law enforcement to release the manifesto, hoping that it could bring some closure.

President of the National Assocation of Police Officers and Boston Police Officer Thomas Nee is a member of Vice President Joe Biden's gun control task force, which was created by President Obama in the aftermath of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. Nee's son, Joseph Nee, was convicted in 2008 for planning to commit mass murder of students and teachers at Marshfield High School in Massachusetts, similar to that of Columbine in 1999. After spending nine months in prison, Nee's conviction was upheld by the Supreme Judicial Court. Nee told police the plan involved taking ammunition and explosive devices into...

The Nashville Metropolitan Police Department (NMPD) denied a Tennessee Star public records request for the release of the manifesto left by the shooter who killed six people at a Nashville Christian school.

Federal officials are delaying the release of a manifesto written by Audrey Hale, who killed six people in a Nashville Christian school, according to local officials, with one calling it “astronomically dangerous.” Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.) told the New York Post this week that the FBI is currently behind the delay. He said that the documents should be made public for grieving family members and for members of Congress. Hale, who was born female, used “he/him” pronouns, and police officials previously told a news conference she identified as transgender. Later, Nashville Police Chief John Drake said Hale suffered from mental...

Nashville shooter Audrey Hale’s manifesto is a “blueprint on total destruction” which the FBI are stalling releasing, according to local politicians, who describe its contents as “astronomically dangerous”. Almost a month after Audrey Hale, who identified as transgender, killed six at the city’s Covenant elementary school before being shot by police authorities have yet to release a motive or any of the writings seized from her home, despite growing pressure. Rep. Tim Burchett, (R-Tenn.) told The Post he knew the FBI was behind the delay, saying the news was “disappointing” and calling for documents to be released to grieving loved...

Rep. Burchett warned that it should not be made available to the public, rather only the families of those killed and members of Congress. In the weeks since trans-identified shooter Audrey Hale massacred three adults and three children at a Christian school in Nashville, Tennessee, details have emerged shining light on what led her to carry out the brutal attack. A comprehensive manifesto was recovered, however its contents have not been released. Lawmakers familiar with the matter have warned of the horrible things included in Hale's manifesto, and called for it to be made available to certain individuals. As the...

According to The Daily Mail, the mass shooter who killed 5 people and injured 9 others at a bank in Louisville, Kentucky left a lengthy manifesto explaining his reasons for perpetrating the shooting. While the manifesto has not been officially released, it seems the perp murdered these people in a bizarre anti-gun protest, killing them because he was opposed to mass shootings. The 13-page missive describes his goals before the horror at the downtown Old National Bank, where the 25-year-old livestreamed the massacre on Instagram as he gunned down co-workers at their morning conference. Sturgeon made three key points in...

Authorities have delayed the release of a manifesto penned by Audrey Hale, the shooter who killed six inside a Nashville, Tennessee elementary school, one public official said, calling it a "blueprint on total destruction." Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tennessee, told the New York Post the FBI was behind the delay while calling for the documents to be released to grieving loved ones and Congress. The manifesto "could maybe tell us a little bit about what’s going on inside of her head," he told the newspaper. "I think that would answer a lot of questions." Hale, 28, identified as transgender and was...

Multiple Republicans in the House of Representatives are demanding the FBI release Nashville shooter Audrey Hale's manifesto, while a councilmember says she's been told it's a 'blueprint on total destruction.' It comes a week after a poll where two thirds of US voters said they want Nashville police to release the manifesto — a sign of growing frustration with the investigation into the deadly attack. Hale, who is transgender, fired 152 rounds from two assault rifles and a handgun, murdering Hallie Scruggs, William Kinney, Evelyn Dieckhaus, all nine, and headmistress Dr. Katherine Koonce, 60, substitute teacher Cynthia Peak, 61, and...

A short time back, our editor-in-chief said that there had been a school shooting in Nashville, and asked if anyone would cover it. I wrote the first story about it for PJ Media. It wasn’t the first time I had ever written about human tragedy or cruelty. And I have hated doing it every time. I always feel like Judas collecting his 30 pieces of silver from someone else’s suffering. Be that as it may, the Nashville shooting mattered, and not just because it gave the Left more talking points about the evils of gun ownership. After all, if we...

The 28-year-old transgender attacker who shot and killed six in a Nashville Christian school March 27, 2023, left behind a suicide note, 19 journals, and other items, all of which have been kept from the public. Breitbart News reported that the transgender shooter carried legally purchased firearms into the school, where she walked the halls with a pistol caliber carbine looking for victims. She was shot and killed on the second floor of the school by Metropolitan Nashville Police Department officers. The attacker left behind “cellphones and laptops, as well as a suicide note, three folders and 19 journals,” NBC...

Two thirds of US voters say they want Nashville police to release the manifesto of transgender school shooter Audrey Hale — a sign of growing frustration with the investigation into the deadly attack two weeks ago. Americans by wide margins want to see the screed, which many believe will reveal an agenda of violent trans extremism, and equal numbers are concerned that Hale's attack will inspire more copycat strikes on Christian schools, pollsters found. The Rasmussen Reports survey heaps pressure on Nashville cops to release Hale's writings, even as officials backtrack on claims she left behind a manifesto, and say...
