This development isn’t exactly shocking, given the images and the preliminary evidence in the aftermath of the Nashville shooting. Transgender mass shooter Audrey Hale plotted the attack “for months.” Journals found in Hale’s car and home revealed the blueprints for the attack on Covenant School, a private Christian academy. Hale was biologically female but identified using male pronouns, using two firearms described by the media as AR-15-style to commit this act of mass murder. Six people were killed, including three children (via NBC News):

BREAKING: Nashville shooter had for months planned the attack at an elementary school that left six people dead, authorities say. https://t.co/TkGvizjT5E

The person behind last week's deadly shooting at a private Christian school in Nashville planned the attack for months, police said Monday.
Audrey Hale outlined plans "to commit mass murder at The Covenant School" in journals police found in Hale's car and bedroom after the March 27 attack that killed six people, the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department (MNPD) said.
Police previously said the shooter had carefully planned the attack on their former school with detailed maps and surveillance.
Police have not yet established a motive, but say Hale “considered the actions of other mass murderers.”
"The writings remain under careful review by the MNPD and the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit based in Quantico, Virginia," the police department said.
Authorities have said that a sense of “resentment” may have played a role in the attack that killed three adults and three 9-year-old students.
Police said Hale, who acted alone, fired 152 rounds — 126 5.56 rifle rounds and 26 9-mm rounds.
Two things are also not surprising: the media has long forgotten this school shooting that occurred on March 27. And the red herrings are flopping all over the deck. The families of the six people killed by Hale aren’t the real victims: it’s the transgender community. Some radical activists have included Hale as one of the shooting victims. Hale was taken down by police, who arrived and neutralized the threat around 14 minutes after the first emergency call.
The political correctness nonsense is slowly seeping through, with law enforcement reticent to offer a motive, though adding that resentment played a role in this attack. For now, police are comfortable chalking up Hale’s motivations as those of any other mass killer. The shooting is soaked in politics; Hale intentionally picked a Christian school to assault, which came after legislation targeting drag shows was passed. Remember, anything targeting the LGBT community is viewed as an assault on all, part of the intersectionality discussion that’s popular among leftists.
The next significant development, in this case, is when police reveal the contents of the journals. Hale left a manifesto. It’s about time that was released to the public.
