Cops share snap of school door Nashville shooter blasted to gain entry and car she drove to scene

Nashville police have shared a photo of the car used by the private school shooter who killed six, including three nine-year-old children and three staff members.

Audrey Hale, 28, is a transgender woman and alumnus of the school who wrote out their plans in a detailed manifesto. 

They also posted photos of the doors of the school, which Hale had shot out in order to gain entry. Police confirmed the glass doors had been locked when Hale arrived.

Hale also allegedly had planned out an attack on another school but decided not to attack there after believing there was too much security, according to Nashville Police Chief John Drake in a Monday afternoon press conference.

At around 10.13am, she opened fire at The Covenant School, shooting and killing nine-year-old Evelyn Dieckhaus, Hallie Scruggs and William Kinney. 

Substitute teacher Cynthia Peak, 61, head of school Katherine Koonce, 60, and custodian Mike Hill, 61, were also killed. 

Koonce worked alongside her daughter at The Covenant School. Anna Koonce serves as a faculty/student assistant. 

Cops said Hale was transgender, although they haven’t specified further details. She was born female, but a LinkedIn profile believed to be hers uses he/him pronouns, suggesting Hale was living as a man.
