At about 10:13 am, a shooter entered the elementary school from a side entrance while carrying two assault-style rifles and a pistol. The shooter was eventually shot dead by the police around 10:27 am.

The identities of the six victims in the Covenant School shooting have been released by Metro Nashville Police Chief John Drake.

A young Hallie Scruggs is pictured with her father, William Kinney, the pastor of the Covenant Church. She was 9 years old when she was murdered by transgender Audrey (Aiden) Hale today.

Here is an updated photo of Hallie Scruggs and her beautiful family; Hallie is in the front row on the right.

The shooting suspect has been identified as 28-year-old transgender Audrey Hale, a former student at the school.

Based on the information in the manifesto, Nashville police are still looking into the possibility that Hale’s attack was motivated by her transgender identity.

During an earlier press conference, a reporter asked Nashville police if they “have any reason to believe that how she identifies has any motive for targeting the school.”

“There is some theory to that,” the officer responded.
