Audrey Hale’s Parents Couldn’t Accept Their Daughter’s Trans Identity
Nashville School Shooter Audrey Hale’s Parents Couldn’t Accept Their Daughter’s Trans Identity
Six people, including three children age nine, were killed in the attack at the Covenant School. The suspect Audrey Hale, was under “doctor’s care for an emotional disorder”, police say.
They believe it was the school that was targeted rather than any particular individual but have not indicated any motive.
Tennessee has no laws that allow police to seize guns from violent suspects. Despite the absence of such so-called red-flag laws, police said they would still have sought to have the weapons confiscated if authorities had had any warning that the suspect could have posed a threat.

According to reports reaching us at Dreddsworld, Aubrey Hale’s parents couldn’t accept their daughter’s trans identity. Also, Hale’s parents thought the suspect had owned only one gun, but that it had been sold.
They believed the suspect “should not own weapons”, and were unaware the suspect “had been hiding several weapons within the house”, said Nashville Police Chief John Drake on Tuesday.
The weapons were legally purchased from five shops around the city. The killer “was under care – doctor’s care – for an emotional disorder”, Chief Drake said, without providing further details.
If there had been reports of suicidal or violent tendencies, he added, police would have sought to confiscate the guns.
