Officials Detail Items Discovered at the Home of Nashville Shooter

Officials revealed what they discovered in the home of a shooter who opened fire at a Christian school in Nashville, Tennessee.

NBC News reported Tuesday a suicide note, weapons and ammunition were among items discovered at the home of Audrey Hale, citing officials.

The Metropolitan Nashville Police Department listed 47 items and groups of items it discovered, including several journals, two shotguns, cellphones and laptops, per the report.

Officers shared they found “3 folders, 19 journals” and included “firearms courses and school shootings in parentheses near the entry,” NBC News explained, pointing to the search warrant.

Additionally, a school photo and five yearbooksfrom the Covenant School, where Hale killed six people including three children, were found.

Police reported Hale was under the care of a doctor for an undisclosed emotional disorder and also had weapons in the house without knowledge of the parents.

Journals discovered in the shooter’s car and bedroom showed the shooting had been planned for months.

John Drake, the Nashville police chief, said the shooter “prepared for a confrontation with law enforcement” and “prepared to do more harm” before being killed by police, per The New York Times.

Last week, body camera footage showed police officers taking Hale down, IJR reported.

They received significant praise from several people on social media for their bravery.

Police also told CNN Hale used “male pronouns” on social media while she was born a female.

Several media outlets sparked backlash for their focus on Hale’s gender identity, IJR reported.

Hallie Scruggs, Evelyn Dieckhaus and William Kinney, all 9 years old; Mike Hill, 61, Cynthia Peak, 61, and Katherine Koonce, 60, were identified as the victims.
