Audrey Hale 28, who identified as transgender targeted the elementary school she previously attended. Hale entered the school through a side entrance and made her way to the upper level where she shot and killed three students as well as three adult staff members, one of whom was in leadership at the school.

According to Nashville Police Chief John Drake, Hale had mapped out the school and the attack. She had also surveilled the school. He also told reporters there was another location targeted but, the shooter had decided there was too much security, he did not reveal the other location.

Drake also announced the police were going through Hale’s manifesto as well as other writings of hers. Drake said currently they are working on the motive and confirmed that one theory centered around her transgender identity.

An ABC News reporter had already linked the shooting to a law passed in the state which bans transgender medical care for minors.
