Multiple Fatalities in Shooting at Nashville Christian Elementary
[PJMedia] Multiple people are dead following a shooting incident at the Covenant School in Nashville, Tennessee. Original reports from Fox News said that at least three children and two adults had died. That number rose to seven as more information became available. One officer sustained an injury in the incident. The Covenant School is a private Christian institution for children up to the sixth grade. The three students and three adults were taken by ambulance to the Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt. The victims were pronounced dead at the hospital.

Originally, it was not clear if one of the deceased was the shooter, although a later report from Nashville Metro Police confirmed that the shooter had been engaged by officers and was killed.

“Officers went to the gunfire. When they got to the second floor and saw the shooter, a female. There was a five-member unit that was on the second floor at the time,” MNPD spokesperson Don Aaron said. “We know at this point that this shooter is a female. Her identification isn’t confirmed. She had two assault rifles and a handgun. She entered the school through a side entrance and went from the first school to the second floor. By 10:27 a.m., the shooter was dead.”

It is not known if the female shooter had any connection to the school. NewsChannel 5 reports that the shooter is a 28-year-old Nashville resident. Her name has not yet been released.

The police department said that other schools in the Green Hills area were placed on lockdown or lockout as a precaution and that parents were notified of the situation. Area roads have been closed during the response to the incident. According to WKRN, ATF Nashville, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation have responded to assist with the incident.

#3 "unidentified 28 year old".... If she's unidentified, how do they know how old she is. Reality is they're just withholding the info until they figure out the best way to spin it. Is she black? muslim? antifa? a defrocked minister?

#6 Fox News Quotes: "Police say officers engaged with and killed the shooter, identified as a 28-year-old female carrying two "assault-type rifles" and a handgun."..."The female, who was only identified as a Nashville resident, killed three students and three adults before being killed by police just before 10:30 a.m. local time."..."At one point she was a student at that school," Nashville police Chief John Drake said. "There was a vehicle nearby that gave us a clue to who she was."..."Police say the shooter entered the building through a side door before climbing stairs to the second floor, where she then opened fire. They don't believe she was wearing any body armor but was armed with two assault-style rifles and a handgun, authorities said."

This speaks to premeditation and methodical planning, heavily armed, to commit murder, uncharacteristic for a female as a rule. The reference that this was a former student, of the elementary-level christian school, means that link is about 15 years in the past. That kind of anger and long-term resentment certainly implies someone in grave emotional distress, with childhood links, consistent with the trans mindset as a rule.

#13 NoMoreBS’s Heavy link does not have a photo, or even much useful information. The below taken from the thread from his Twitter link. So a female who believed herself to be male?

#18 Perhaps an individual who either cannot or will not reconcile themselves to the most foundational and harshly bordered aspects of reality is, uh, some kind of nut or something.

#22 New info just in: Nashville Chief of Police John Drake has since confirmed at a press conference that Hale identified as transgender. She was a biological female who identified as a man. Police also confirmed that Hale was a former student at the school and that she had a manifesto.

Second that. From everything I read there was no shortage of bravery from the PD.
