Nashville Police In Final Report Downplay Covenant Shooter’s Transgender Identity, Hatred Of Christianity

The final police report on Nashville’s deadly Covenant School shooting, released more than two years after the attack, claims the motive of the attack was “notoriety” and makes little mention of the shooter’s radical positions on gender, race, or religious animus.

While pages from the writings of the 28-year-old woman who murdered three children and three adults at The Covenant School in March 2023 demonstrate that she was fixated on gender ideology and “white privilege,” police say that she was primarily motivated by a desire for notoriety. Investigators said that neither her documented hatred of Christianity or affluent white people played a role in her targeting of The Covenant School, a Presbyterian school in a wealthy area of Nashville.

“Regarding why she selected The Covenant, many have speculated [the shooter] selected this location for racial, religious, or economic motives,” the report said. “It is certainly true she raged over these topics at times in her writings. But none of those motives impacted her decision to attack The Covenant.”

Instead, the police said that Covenant was targeted because the attacker, who was killed by police, believed that she would receive greater notoriety by murdering young children. Three of the victims of the March 27, 2023, attack — Evelyn Dieckhaus, Hallie Scruggs, and William Kinney — were all just 9 years old. The other victims of the attack were adults Michael Hill, Katherine Koonce, and Cynthia Peak.

Throughout the report, police made little mention of the attacker’s transgender identity, only mentioning that she identified as a male and that she had made references to wanting to transition.

‘Wanna Kill All You Little Crackers’: Nashville Trans Shooter Manifesto Leaked

Has the long-buried “manifesto” of the Nashville transgender mass murderer finally leaked? More than seven months after the massacre of six people inside The Covenant School, which resulted in the death of perpetrator Audrey Hale, the evidence has yet to be officially released for public view. Only hints of the contents of Hale’s writings have emerged, none with any more specificity than in the days after the shooting[.]

Seven months later, police and the Department of Justice still refuse to release the manifesto. Now, however, Steven Crowder has published pictures purportedly of three pages of the diary provided to him by an unnamed source. . .

At his LWC website, Steven provides a few more pulls from the text:

Hale: “going to fancy private schools with those fancy khakis + sports backpacks w/ their daddies mustangs + convertibles.”
Hale: “Wanna kill all you little crackers!!! Bunch of little faggots w/ your white privileges”
Hale: There were several times I could have been caught especially b—ack in the summer of 2021.
Hale: “It might be 10 minutes tops. It might be 3-7. Its gunna go quick.”

Parents’ Efforts to Suppress Transgender School Shooter’s Manifesto Would Be Unprecedented if Granted: Expert

The efforts of parents and Nashville community members to stop the release of Covenant School shooter Audrey Hale’s writings, if successful, would be an unprecedented move that could have bigger implications going forward, an open-government expert told The Post.

Tennessee’s victims’ rights statute does not give individuals a “carte blanche” to veto other laws, such as the one that allows people the right to public records, said Deborah Fisher, executive director of the Tennessee Coalition for Open Government.

“There’s nothing really to indicate that there would be this ability for victims to veto the release of otherwise public records and in, and in this case, crime records,” Fisher said Thursday.

Fisher is not a party in the ongoing litigation over whether Hale’s writings — previously described as a “manifesto” — should be released.

But she was asked by an attorney involved to provide her input on the history of the victims’ rights legislation, she said. (Read more from “Parents’ Efforts to Suppress Transgender School Shooter’s Manifesto Would Be Unprecedented if Granted: Expert” HERE)

Transgender Nashville Shooter Autopsy Obtained

Townhall has exclusively obtained trans-identified mass shooter Audrey “Aiden” Elizabeth Hale’s autopsy report months after the murderer massacred six victims, including three children, at a private Christian elementary school in Nashville, Tennessee.

Though the cause of death was apparent, a hail of gunshots from a pair of heroic Nashville police officers who didn’t hesitate to neutralize Hale, the public has been left wondering what drugs were in the mass shooter’s system, if any, at the time of the Covenant School rampage. Included in the 11-page document from the Davidson County Medical Examiner’s office, a toxicology report found that the blood-, urine- and vitreous-humor analysis performed on Hale did not detect abuse of substances or alcohol.

Other sections document Hale’s gunshot wounds in graphic detail, a sketch of a woman’s body showing where Hale sustained injuries during the police shootout, and the case’s summary, which notes that Hale was “a transgender person” “assigned female at birth.” An external examination describes Hale’s clothing worn at the time of death, as security cameras at the school captured.

Notably, along with a black tactical-style vest, Hale was wearing a white T-shirt with words, drawings, and numbers handwritten on it; a pink-tan bra, also covered with a drawing and handwritten words; a black tee with “a firing range logo” printed on the left-front side; a utility belt with holsters attached; orange earplugs; a red baseball cap, worn backwards; black-and-blue partial gloves; and camouflage pants. She was carrying a pocket knife with “Aiden,” her transgender name, monogrammed on it. Multiple ammunition magazines—some labeled with stickers and drawings—were recovered from the trans militant’s clothes. (Read more from “Transgender Nashville Shooter Autopsy Obtained” HERE)

Audrey Hale Manifesto a ‘Blueprint on Total Destruction’ Say Pols, Who Claim FBI Is Stalling Its Release

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 ones as well as members of Congress.

The manifesto “could maybe tell us a little bit about what’s going on inside of her head,” he added. “I think that would answer a lot of questions.”

Twenty journals, five laptops, a suicide note and various other notes written by Hale were seized from the house she shared with her parents as well as two memoirs, five Covenant School yearbooks and seven cellphones, according to a search warrant.

What Are They Hiding About the Nashville Shooter’s Manifesto?

. . .[T]he Nashville shooting mattered, and not just because it gave the Left more talking points about the evils of gun ownership. After all, if we are being honest, the Left can come up with talking points about the evils of gun ownership over a skeeball game. What the Nashville murders revealed was the level of disconnect affecting the transgender movement. As did the fact that everyone from the White House on down seemed to be less concerned with the victims and their families than with the transgender community. Also conspicuously absent from the debate has been the incendiary language that that community has used.

Pertinent information seems to be in the manifesto written by the woman who committed the crimes. And that manifesto has been declared off-limits, so it would appear that no one is getting access to it. That includes journalist Glenn Greenwald, who has even enlisted the aid of lawyers to get the manifesto from the Nashville Police Department. But the firms have decided to back out of the effort.

In his show on Rumble, Greenwald pointed out that had this been an incident involving a far-right extremist, the manifesto would have been made public. It would have been front-page news everywhere one looked. And Greenwald also noted that understanding the shooter’s motivation is important for a myriad of reasons. Not the least of which is to prevent people from exploiting it. And in the interest of full disclosure, Greenwald might consider this column to be an example of such exploitation. But Greenwald also makes the point that the shooter probably does not fit the narrative that the media and various other entities find so tasty.

The Gospel Message of Transformation vs the Godless Message of Tolerance and Transitioning

Last week a member of the trans community unleashed a wave of devastation upon Christians in Nashville that ended the lives of six of our brothers and sisters in Christ including three young children. I noted in my last post on this subject how we must learn to hate evil again as it continues to creep up in the world around us being endorsed and praised by the mainstream press, academics, culture, and major multi-national corporations.

Since the shooting took place we have seen a massive wave of endorsement and support of the trans community. We’ve seen a male transgender golfer who identifies as a female win the Australian women’s tour. We’ve seen a a biological male, Dylan Mulvaney a “trans spokesperson,” become affiliated and enter into paid partnerships with major corporate brands like Nike and Bud Light.

Not to be left out, Jack Daniels released a trans ad this week as well. We’ve also seen the White House make a proclamation on the “Day of Trans Visibility.” Finally amidst all of this madness we’ve seen law enforcement discover a manifesto from another would-be trans killer who allegedly planned to carry out multiple school shootings.

The news that hit the hardest this week was the tragic story of Chris Tyson, the sidekick of the most popular Youtuber on the planet MrBeast who has billions of views and is largely influential among the youth. This week he announced that he is taking hormone replacement therapy, goes by any pronouns, and to make matters worse he is doing all of this in the public eye while being married and having a young son. Lord have mercy. If your children are watching this popular Youtube channel you should put a stop to it immediately.

As a Christian, it is crucial to stand up for the truth of God’s word as our world spirals into madness. The Bible is not just any book, but it is the inspired word of God, and it contains the truth that we need to live our lives. As followers of Christ we have a responsibility to uphold the truth and to proclaim it to the world. It’s important for us first to understand the role of gender as presented in the Bible. The Bible is very clear in its teachings that men and women are created differently and have different roles to play in society and in the family.

Made In The Image of God

At its core, the Bible presents a vision of humanity as being created in the image of God. This means that both men and women are equally valuable and deserving of respect and dignity. However, the Bible also presents a clear distinction between male and female, and suggests that there are certain roles and responsibilities that are associated with each gender.

In Genesis 1:27, God’s Word states, “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.” This passage affirms that God created male and female, and that our gender is an essential part of our identity.

Deuteronomy 22:5 states, “A woman shall not wear a man’s garment, nor shall a man put on a woman’s cloak, for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord your God.” This passage is a very clear condemnation of cross-dressing or gender non-conforming behavior. As Christians we are called to extend grace, love, and compassion to all people, including transgender individuals. We should seek to understand their experiences and struggles, and to support them in their journey towards wholeness and healing by pointing them to Jesus Christ and the Truth of God’s Word, not by endorsing and enabling their sinful behavior.

Christians believe that all people are sinners and in need of redemption. None of us is perfect, and we all struggle with various sins and shortcomings in our lives. However, we also believe that through Jesus Christ, we can be forgiven, healed, and transformed into new creations.

Jesus can help trans individuals find their true identity and purpose. In John 10:10, Jesus says, “I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” Trans individuals often struggle with their identity and feel disconnected from their true selves. However, through a relationship with Jesus, they can find their true identity as children of God and live a fulfilling life.

As Christians, we believe in the transforming power of the Holy Spirit in our lives. The Bible is full of examples of people who were transformed by the Holy Spirit, from Saul of Tarsus (who became the Apostle Paul) to the disciples who were filled with the Holy Spirit on Pentecost. This same transforming power is available to all of us, including those who identify as transgender.

In John 8:11, Jesus says to a woman caught in adultery, “Neither do I condemn you; go, and from now on sin no more.” This passage demonstrates Jesus’ compassion and forgiveness towards sinners, but also his call to repentance and transformation. As Christians, we know that we all struggle with sin. Whether it’s pride, envy, anger, or addiction, we all have areas of our lives where we fall short of God’s perfect standard. But the good news is that we have a Savior who can help us overcome these struggles and find healing and wholeness through a relationship with God.

One of the first steps in helping people who are struggling with sin is to acknowledge the reality of their struggles. We should not judge or condemn them, but rather show them compassion and understanding. We can help them by listening to their stories, praying for them, and providing practical support and guidance. They are actively seeking to be guided and we must guide them to Jesus.

Through faith in Jesus Christ, we can experience the power of the Holy Spirit in our lives. Galatians 5:22-23 says, “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.” These qualities are evidence of the Holy Spirit’s work in our lives, and they can help us overcome sin and find healing and wholeness. At the heart of healing from sin is a relationship with God through Jesus Christ. In John 10:10, Jesus says, “I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.” Jesus offers us abundant life through a relationship with Him, where we can find forgiveness, grace, and transformation.

Another important aspect of helping people who are struggling with sin is accountability. We should encourage them to surround themselves with other believers who can offer support, accountability, and prayer. We can also help them find a local church where they can connect with others and grow in their faith. As Christians, we believe that all human beings are born into sin, due to the fall of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. We are born with a sinful nature, and our natural inclination is towards rebellion against God’s perfect will.

Born This Way: Our Sinful Nature

Many in the LGBT community often lean on the claim that they were “born this way” and that there is nothing they can do to change who they are. The truth of the matter is we are all “born this way” in the sense that we are born into a sinful nature. The good news is that we can be born again through faith in Jesus Christ. In John 3:3, Jesus tells Nicodemus, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

To be born again means to be transformed by the Holy Spirit, to receive a new nature, and to have a new relationship with God. This transformation is not just a one-time event, but an ongoing process that takes place throughout our lives. The Holy Spirit is the agent of this transformation. In Titus 3:5-6, it says, “He saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior.”

Through the Holy Spirit, we are renewed and transformed in our thoughts, attitudes, and behaviors. Romans 12:2 says, “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.” This transformation is not something that we can achieve on our own. It is a work of God’s grace, and it requires our surrender and cooperation.

As we submit to the Holy Spirit and allow Him to work in us, we will experience gradual growth and transformation. Ultimately, the goal of this transformation is to conform us to the image of Christ. In 2 Corinthians 3:18, it says, “And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.”

Let us embrace the reality of being born into sin, but also the reality of being born again through faith in Jesus Christ. Let us submit to the transforming work of the Holy Spirit in our lives, and let us strive to become more like Christ each day. We must be willing and able to share this good news with all people in all nations, including those in the trans community.

A Message of Hope And True Transformation

In Galatians 5:22-23, Paul describes the fruit of the Spirit, which includes love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. These are all qualities that we can develop as we are transformed by the Holy Spirit. For those who identify as transgender, the Holy Spirit can bring transformation and healing to their lives. The Spirit can help them find peace and acceptance with their identity, as well as strength to overcome any challenges they may face. The Spirit can also help them develop the fruit of the Spirit in their lives, enabling them to live in a way that honors God and brings joy to themselves and others. This is a message of hope for those who so desperately need it.

In recent years, there has been a growing cultural shift towards recognizing and accepting transgender individuals. Many people in the secular world see the transition process as a way for trans people to become their true selves and live fulfilling lives. However, as Christians, we understand that true transformation comes not through physical changes, but through spiritual transformation through the power of the Holy Spirit.

The secular world’s version of transformation for trans people focuses on physical changes, such as hormone therapy, surgeries, and other medical interventions. The idea is that by changing the body to align with the individual’s gender identity, they can finally feel like their true selves and live a more authentic life. These physical changes do not address the root of the issue and leave many trans individuals filled with regret.

The Bible’s version of transformation focuses on the renewing of the mind and heart through the power of the Holy Spirit. In Romans 12:2, Paul writes, “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.” This verse emphasizes the importance of a transformed mind and heart, which can only come through a relationship with Jesus Christ.

The Holy Spirit has the power to transform us from the inside out, giving us a new perspective on life and helping us to live in a way that honors God. This kind of transformation is not limited to any particular aspect of our identity, but rather encompasses our entire being. In 2 Corinthians 5:17, Paul writes, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” This verse speaks to the transformative power of the Holy Spirit in our lives, which makes us new creations in Christ.

As Christians, we should seek to share this message of transformation and hope with those who identify as transgender. While we may not agree with the secular world’s version of transformation, we can still show love and compassion to those who are struggling with their gender identity. We can also offer them the hope and transformation that comes through a relationship with Jesus Christ, pointing them towards a life of true fulfillment and purpose. We should seek to share this message of hope and transformation with those who identify as transgender, showing them the love and compassion of Christ and offering them a new way of living through Him.

We Must Stand For Truth

It can be challenging to navigate the conflicting messages and values of the world around us as Christians. We are bombarded with messages that tell us to compromise our beliefs and values for the sake of being politically correct or to fit in with the crowd. However, the importance of standing up for the truth of God’s word and not giving in to worldly demands on important issues cannot be overstated.

The Bible makes it clear that God’s word is the ultimate truth. In John 17:17, Jesus prayed to the Father, saying, “Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth.” The Bible is not just a collection of stories and teachings, but it is the living, breathing word of God that has the power to transform lives and shape our worldview.

When we compromise on the truth of God’s word, we risk losing our identity as Christians and diluting the message of the Gospel. We become like the salt that has lost its flavor and is no longer effective in preserving and seasoning the world around us (Matthew 5:13).

We are called to be ambassadors of Christ in the world (2 Corinthians 5:20). This means that we have a responsibility to share the truth of God’s word with those around us, even if it is unpopular or goes against the prevailing cultural norms. We are not called to be people-pleasers but to be faithful servants of God.

Let us share the Gospel message of hope, love, and true transformation in stark contrast to the message of physical transitioning and unfettered tolerance of the world–a path that leads to death and destruction.

Police Found Suicide Note, Shotgun and Ammunition During Search of Transgender Shooter’s Home

Investigators recovered a suicide note and further evidence during a search of Nashville school shooter Audrey Hale’s home, according to a court document.

Metro Nashville police officers scouring the 28-year-old transgender shooter’s home on the day of the killings discovered the fir, ammunition and a shotgun among 47 items, according to an inventory of the seized property.

Also recovered from the property — which Hale shared with her parents — were more journals, cellphones and laptops, according to the document, which was obtained by The Post.

The revelation comes one day after police revealed that Hale had “considered the actions of other mass murderers” and had left behind a trove of writings.

“In the collective writings by Hale found in her vehicle in the school parking lot, and others later found in the bedroom of her home, she documented, in journals, her planning over a period of months to commit mass murder at the Covenant School,” the Metro Nashville Police Department said Monday.

Transgender School Shooter’s Chilling Final Messages to Pal Revealed

Nashville school shooter Audrey Hale sent a friend a chilling “suicide note” minutes before slaughtering three children and three adults — writing her: “I’m planning to die today.”

Hale, 28, messaged Averianna Patton, her former middle school basketball teammate, on Instagram at 9:57 a.m. Monday, NewsChannel 5 reported.

“So basically that post I made on here about you, that was basically a suicide note. I’m planning to die today,” Hale wrote, using the name Aiden, according to messages Patton gave the outlet.

“THIS IS NOT A JOKE!!!” wrote Hale, who identified as transgender. “You’ll probably hear about me on the news after I die.”

Hale added: “This is my last goodbye. I love you … See you again in another life.” She signed the missive “Audrey (Aiden).” (Read more from “Transgender School Shooter’s Chilling Final Messages to Pal Revealed” HERE)

Senator Calls for Federal Hate Crime Investigation Into Shooting at Nashville Christian School

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) called on FBI Director Christopher Wray and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to open a federal hate crime investigation into the Monday shooting at a Christian elementary school in Nashville, Tennessee.

Police say a 28-year-old woman who identified as a transgender man killed three 9-year-old children and three adults at The Covenant School, which is associated with the conservative evangelical Covenant Presbyterian Church. Authorities revealed that the shooter, whom The Daily Wire will not name in accordance with company policy, executed a “targeted attack” and left behind a “manifesto.”

Hawley contended that the nature of the fatal shooting might indicate a specific desire to harm Christians. “Yesterday the nation witnessed the vicious murder of small schoolchildren in Nashville, Tennessee,” he wrote in a letter to the senior Biden administration officials. “It is commonplace to call such horrors ‘senseless violence.’ But properly speaking, that is false. Police report that the attack here was ‘targeted’ — targeted, that is, against Christians.”

The Republican lawmaker added that federal law criminalizes acts of violence based on their actual or perceived “religion.” Police detectives believe the shooter had “some resentment” for having to attend that school.

“I urge you to immediately open an investigation into this shooting as a federal hate crime,” Hawley continued. “The full resources of the federal government must be brought to bear to determine how this crime occurred, and who may have influenced the deranged shooter to carry out these horrific crimes. Hate that leads to violence must be condemned. And hate crimes must be prosecuted.” (Read more from “Senator Calls for Federal Hate Crime Investigation Into Shooting at Nashville Christian School” HERE)
