The suspect in Monday’s deadly school shooting was a former student who had maps of The Covenant School, Nashville Police Chief John Drake said.
Audrey Hale, 28, who police said was a transgender woman, had conducted surveillance and prepared for the attack with detailed maps, officials said. Police said the shooter had a manifesto, the contents of which were not released.
Hale had attended the school as a child but police did not detail which grades.
Hale shot through a door to gain access to the school, Drake said.
The shooter, Drake said, was “prepared for a confrontation with law enforcement” and “prepared to do more harm.”
The shooter was armed with two semiautomatic AR-15-style rifles as well as a handgun. At least two of the three guns had been lawfully purchased, Drake said.
