‘WE ARE ALL F*GS’: FBI releases 112 pages of writing from Nashville trans school shooter showing maps, faculty lists, anti-Christian diatribes

The Federal Bureau of Investigation on Thursday released over 100 pages of writings from Nashville Covenant School shooter Audrey Hale, who killed three children and three staff members in the 2023 shooting at the school. 

Per Fox 17, the 112 pages that the FBI released were found by law enforcement in Hale’s car. The release comes after a long legal battle by The Tennessee Star and the Tennessee Firearms Association to make the documents available to the public. 

Among the pages released by the FBI were redacted pages that had maps of the Covenant School, including the first floor and second floor, as well as lists of faculty members at the school and dates that the school was on break for the 2022/23 school calendar year.

Hale wrote about feeling “born wrong,” scribbling on one page, “why does my brain not work right? Cause I was born wrong. Nothing on earth can save me. Never-ending pain. Religion won’t save.”

A stretch of pages included notes on “beggining [sic] shooters” and “Defensive Pistol” I, II, and III, in which Hale wrote about “universal safety rules” of shooting, shooting drills, and situational awareness levels. In the following pages, Hale wrote about upcoming gun shows and gun legislation being considered at the time. Hale wrote on one page regarding Biden, “President Biden plans to ban assault weapons… Corrupt f*cker!!!”

Additional pages included sketches of a body and the words “on death day” above. Most of these pages were redacted, but included the words “Front side,” “Inside vest,” “Vest back,” “Lside,” and “Rside.” 

Hale ranted on one page, “WE ARE ALL F*GS. Lesbians can be cute as long as they are feminine. Kill all the d*kes and all those firly boy f*ggots. WE ARE ALL F*GGOTS. WE ARE ALL QUEERS. Let all the black police hang us.”

In another page, Hale considered pushing out the date of the shooting to April because “April reminds me of Columbina. It be nice to set in history of a date 3 days before” the date in which the Columbine High School shooting happened in 1999.”

Hale also wrote out multiple lists of things to get done before “death day,”  included one of books to read and movies to watch, one outlining plans for the day before the shooting, and preparation lists for guns and ammunition.

The pages released also included those that were previoiusly reported on, including a section titled “my imaginary penis,” a page in which Hale ranted “kill those kids, those crackers,” and passages about “brown love.”

Progressive Nashville Mayor Investigated for Obstructing ICE Agents

Democrat Freddie O’Connell, who has positioned himself as a progressive mayor of Nashville, Tennessee, is currently under investigation for allegedly obstructing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.

Republican Tennessee Rep. Andy Ogles announced on Thursday that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and congressional judiciary committees are investigating whether Mayor O’Connell used federal tax dollars “in criminal enterprise” to obstruct ICE operations while allegedly aiding and abetting illegal migrants. As Breitbart News reported, O’Connell made “waves nationally after making Metro Immigration Interactions public”:

According to WZTV, the public information includes “federal immigration authorities’ names.” The Democrat maintains he is doing this as a form of “transparency,” but Republicans are warning that this fundamentally puts agents in danger.

“@freddieoconnell is putting ICE agents and law enforcement in harm’s way by releasing their names for criminal gangs to see,” Blackburn said in a social media post, explaining why the move is so risky.

“These men and women have risked their lives to make our communities safer by removing gangs, rapists, and other heinous criminals from our communities. Shame on him,” she continued.

In a Monday press conference at the Tennessee State capital, Ogles claimed that the mayor has been aiding “murderers, rapists, drug traffickers, sexual predators, child traffickers.”

“I will always stand on the rule of law and with ICE. And I don’t just stand with ICE; I’ll stand in front of ICE because we the people have had enough,” Ogles said. “Due to the remarks of Freddie O’Connell and the potential for aiding and abetting illegal immigration, the Homeland Security and the judiciary committees will be conducting an investigation into the mayor of Nashville, his conduct and whether or not federal dollars have been used in criminal enterprise.”

According to the New York Post, ICE agents “working with the Tennessee Highway Patrol had busted nearly 200 immigrants — many criminals with gang affiliations — in a joint operation earlier this month.”

“After the arrests, O’Connell signed an executive order requiring city departments to inform the mayor’s office within a certain time frame after communicating with federal immigration authorities,” noted the NY Post.

Nashville Covenant School shooter Audrey Hale’s manifesto RELEASED by Tennessee Star

On Tuesday, over a year after the fatal Covenant School shooting in Nashville, the Tennessee Star and Editor-in-Chief Michael Patrick Leahy released 90 pages of writings left behind by Audrey Hale. The writings were done between January and March of 2023, leading up to the March 27, 2023 shooting that saw three 9-year-old children and three staff members killed. Hale was fatally shot by police in the school.

The Star said that the journal was legally obtained from a source familiar with the investigation in June 2024, and the notebook was recovered from Hale’s vehicle by the Metro Nashville Police Department alongside a spiral-bound notebook following the shooting.

The red, lined-page notebook features the name “Aiden” written on the cover. Aiden was the name that the trans-identifying school shooter went by.

The journal opens with the words “Darkness” and “Everything hurts” written on the inside cover, and “Why does my brain not work right?? Cause I was born wrong” written on the first page. “Nothing on Earth can save me,” it added. “Never-ending pain. Religion won’t save me.” Many of the opening pages feature drawings of broken hearts, writing about loving someone, and the abbreviation P.A.P. frequently written in a heart. Hale also frequently wrote of wanting to die.

Another page includes the phrases, “No brown girls, no love,” and “brown love is the most beautiful kind,” and the following page states, “Audrey is not my name but when you say it I am just as the little 1 I was back then. I can be a kid again with you alongside you even if I can’t really be w/ you.”

“Love cannot be real if my Autism is. Love cannot exsist (sic) or fails to be in this real. Too bad I was loved by your heart to short in time. It felt like a dream. If there is no love, there is no life. And no like is feeling dead, its only natural wanting to die,” another page stated, along with the line “I’m OK with being gone forever,” accompanied by arrows pointing towards a cloud covering a sun.

One entry dated January 16, 2023 stated, “I’m so sorry Nikki. I didn’t mean to plan my massacre on the 17th. I’m going to be a terrible sh*t for leaving you. How bad my heart hurts. Tomorrow is my last day on Earth. I love you. I am so sorry, Audrey, with Aiden written in parenthesis. A note added to the bottom of the page on the following day read, “PS – Not leaving yet. I couldn’t do it. I don’t want to ruin your day. I’ll wait as planned.”

Another page following Hale pulling out of plans for a January 17 massacre featured Hale planning when to next carry out the attack, with one note stating that it had to have “27” or “17” in the date. “I want to do it in February,” Hale wrote, adding the date 2/17/23 and noting that there are “no birthdays on that day.”

On one page, Hale drew two figures having anal sex and wrote, “can’t butt sex a beautiful young brown girl, w/ a big a** and a small a**hole, if I had a penis, it (sic) be big + rock hard, too bad I am a sad boy born w/ a puny vagina.” On the page following that, Hale wrote about wishing Hale’s father was dead, and being “the most unhappy boy alive.” Hale wrote it’s a “terrible feeling to know I am nothing of the gender I was born of.”

Multiple pages featured the phrase “white nothingness,” and one page stated, “society + politics are scum in this world that nature should wipe clean.” Another page read, “w/o my creativity, I am useless + meaningless to society. I am of no society. And I have society b/c society ignores to see me. I’m a queer; I am meant to die.”

A February 20, 2023 entry read, “I was actually identified as a male today and it felt right.” Hale added, “I SHOULD NOT BE IN THIS BODY.,” with the page later stating, “when I’m called a lady or ma’am — damn it it makes me not want to exsist (sic). The body in me exsists only to me. I’m just damn tired of being called + identified by a gender I am not. AT ALL.” Another page stated, “If God won’t give me a boy body in heaven, then Jesus is a f*ggot.”

In the month ahead of the shooting, Hale declared that March 27, 2023 would be Hale’s “Death Day.” A March 2 entry about a “brown girl” saw Hale write that the girl “will live a legend and I will die a shooter — hopefully to become infamous. No one will forget either of us. She will be the blessing, and I will be the horror to inflict pain.”

An entry dated March 11, 2023 was titled “My Imaginary penis.” Hale wrote, “My penis exsists (sic) in my head. I swear to God I am a male. I think about sexual fantasies, about how if my d*ck was real I’d f*ck the girl I love in the a**. I want to know what thats like, but I never will because I was damned to be born this way.”

Hale wrote about being raised as a girl, as Hale biologically was, saying it was “torture.” Hale wrote of Hale’s mother, “I might have told her once in childhood I wish I was a boy when she made me put my shirt back on as a kid. But would say ‘your a girl, and that’s how you were born,’ some kind of bullsh*t like that. It made me mad.” Hale expressed hate towards Hale’s parents’ conservative religious beliefs and how they would not pay “a cent” for hale to receive “transgender treatment.”

“Children who were able to successfully take puberty blockers and never enter a torchured (sic) puberty, those little f*ggots don’t know how good they f*cking have it. I’d kill to have parents who would let their child be happy no matter how different it is to their viewpoints or don’t agree, or scared of it.”

Hale also wrote about fashioning a penis for one of Hale’s stuffed doll, which Hale named “Tony” and having that stuffed doll have sex with one named “Ashley.” “I let Tony f*ck Ashley in the a** and stuffed Tony’s big penis in aggressively into her a**hole. It took several attempts for Tony to put his d*ck into her vigina (sic) because he has a big d*ck (and was even bigger since he had an erection) finally went in and Ashley cried and moaned for a good ten minutes.” Hale continued to write in great detail about having these two stuffed dolls simulate sexual acts.

Journalist threatened with jail over publishing trans shooter Audrey Hale’s deranged journal writings

A journalist from the Tennessee Star is being summoned to appear in court and faces jail time for publishing journal writings of transgender shooter Audrey Hale, sparking freedom of the press concerns.

The article revealed that Hale, who shot and killed six people at the Covenant Elementary school in March 2023, wrote about her ‘imaginary penis’ and how she would ‘kill’ to get puberty blockers weeks before her horrific act.

For more than a year, Nashville Chancellor I’Ashea Myles has been presiding over a public records case wherein the plaintiffs are suing to get the right to release documents related to the shooting. Families of the victims are on the exact opposite side, trying to bury the documents and keep them out of the public eye.

But since the case in ongoing, Myles is claiming that the Tennessee Star may have published ‘certain purported documents and information’ that should have remained under seal. 

At Myle’s request, Tennessee Star editor-in-chief Michael Patrick Leahy will appear in court Monday to explain why his news outlet didn’t violate the court order.

Covenant Killer Audrey Hale Used Federal Pell Grant Funds to Buy Guns She Used in March 2023 Mass Shooting at Christian School

Covenant School shooter Audrey Elizabeth Hale reportedly used funds from a federal Pell Grant to buy the guns she used to perpetrate a mass shooting in March 2023.

99.7 WTN afternoon radio host Brian Wilson reported Wednesday that Hale “took money from an education grant she received to purchase her weapons and to pay for training at a local gun range.”

Hale purchased seven guns, three of which were recovered from the Covenant School after she died during an encounter with Metro Nashville Police Department officers, police said at the time in a post to X. She killed six people, including three children.

Four more guns, including a sawed-off shotgun and a second shotgun, among other items, were recovered by police at Hale’s parents’ home in the Belmont-Hillsboro neighborhood, MNPD said in a news release the day of the shooting.

The Tennessee Star emailed MNPD to ask if it would provide information regarding the make and model of the guns Hale owned, where they were purchased, and what they cost. MNPD declined to answer, saying that “materials included in the open investigative file are protected.”

Massive Cover-Up of Trans Shooter’s History in Nashville Covenant School Mass Murder Case

The parents of the victims of the Covenant School in Nashville, TN, have begged Davidson County Chancery Court to withhold from the public Audrey Hale’s manifesto and all documents belonging to the shooter, which were legally gifted to the parents of the victims by the shooter’s parents.

Gifting the documents to the parents of the victims is odd. But for the parents of the victims to then assert that they hold some kind of “copyright” on those documents is twisted on its face and one cannot help but wonder what really is behind this enormous effort to withhold information about Audrey Hale.

Let’s think about it for a minute. What we know is that Audrey Hale went to elementary school at Covenant, transferred out to Isaiah T. Creswell Middle School and Nashville School of Arts then on to Nossi College of Arts. Everything was seemingly okay.

At 28 years old, the now transitioning female, was identifying as the male, Aiden and, while living at home with mom and dad, began purchasing seven firearms, including shotguns, rifles, and handguns. It was also at this time that we find Hale being “treated” for an emotional disorder.

On the morning of March 27, 2023, Hale drove to her elementary alma mater and discharged 150 rounds, killing three children and three adults. Why? Why did Hale choose Covenant School for her murderous actions? Why not Middle or High School or how about the local fast-food joint? This was a specific hit. Planned. Hale knew where she was going and why.

The problem is that the public doesn’t know why. The public doesn’t know why Hale decided to take the lives of six innocent people. But the public will have to live with any legislation that comes from her murderous behavior… legislation that may limit its right to own firearms or increases funding for mental health services that may actually be responsible for Hale’s actions.

Tennessee Federal Judge Orders FBI To Turn Over Nashville Mass Shooter’s Manifesto

A federal judge in Tennessee ruled that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) surrender documents, which include the ‘manifesto’ of transgender school shooter Audrey Elizabeth Hale, who killed three adults and three nine-year old children at the Covenant Christian School in Nashville in March 2023. 

The police shot Hale inside the school after she had murdered Mike Hill, 61, Cynthia Peak, 61, Katherine Koonce, 60, and three 9-year-olds, Hallie Scruggs, Evelyn Dieckhaus and William Kinney.

At the time of the shooting in March 2023, Metropolitan Nashville Police Chief John Drake had told reporters that officers had recovered a “manifesto” from Hale’s car as well as other documents, including a hand-drawn map of the school, and said Hale’s manifesto would be released. It was never released.

Federal authorities had resisted releasing Hale’s manifesto, citing potential interference with enforcement proceedings. The Tennessee Star newspaper’s parent company took legal action against the FBI after denying its request for public records release laws in Tennessee under the Freedom of Information Act. 

“The public has an urgent right to know why this tragedy happened,” the newspaper’s lawyers said in the federal complaint at that time.

The parent company of the Tennessee Star, a local newspaper, sued the FBI after the bureau denied its public records request under the Freedom of Information Act.

Then the tide turned. 

“It has been long enough, and the public has an urgent right to know why this tragedy happened, how future events may be prevented, and what policies should be in place to address this and other similar tragedies,” lawyers for the newspaper wrote in a federal complaint. “[The] FBI has no right to retain a monopoly on this information,” the court ruled. 

The FBI sought to have the complaint dismissed, but Judge Aleta Trauger of the Middle District of Tennessee said the bureau had failed to support its position “with sufficient clarity or detail” and ordered it to submit the manifesto to the court, so she could review the materials.

“The FBI is ORDERED to produce ex parte all documents that are potentially responsive to the defendants’ Freedom of Information Act request for in camera review, with the exception that, based on the plaintiffs’ concessions in this litigation, the FBI need not produce any documents that could not reasonably be construed to bear on Audrey Hale’s motives,” Trauger wrote.
