On March 27, 2023, a transgender shooter named Audrey Elizabeth Hale entered the Covenant Christian School, intending to kill as many elementary school students as possible. The 28-year-old would kill three 9-year-olds and three adults before being gunned down by police. The Covenant School opened in 2001 as part of the Covenant Presbyterian Church. It held classes from pre-k to sixth grade.
Hale self-identified as a male named Aidan. The shooter left a manifesto on the seat of her car. Police recovered the document but have refused to release it. In other high-profile rampage killings, the killer’s manifestos have been released within 24 hours, leading many to wonder if the manifesto was held under wraps because it didn’t meet the proper narrative.
A court battle has been ongoing for months over the manifesto. The National Police Association (NPA) has been fighting to force officials to release the manifesto to the public. The shooter’s parents are trying to intervene in the case to block the release of their daughter’s writing.
The police have claimed not to have a motive for the attack, but if the manifesto is legitimate, then the motive for the rampage is clear.
According to the three released pages of the manifesto, the killer entered the school to kill the elementary school kids because of their perceived white privilege. The killer was white, but her writing reads like a manifesto written by an anti-white racist.
She attacked the character of children and called them “crackers” in her manifesto. She hoped for a high body count. The killer also picked the target because the school was a private school. She seemed upset that the children’s parents could afford to send them to a Christian private school even though she attended it in her younger years. It appears that she had a lot of self-hate.
The attack was planned for at least two years before being carried out. In the manifesto, the murderer claimed to have come close to getting caught in 2021. There is no indication of how she was almost caught. The woman laid out a timeline for the attack and seemed excited to carry it out. Police did state they believed the attack was “calculated and planned.” The manifesto appears to back up the claim.
The woman also never intended to survive the attack. She planned on being killed by police. She figured she would have ten minutes max to kill as many people as possible at the school. It appears she planned on suicide by cop after gunning down as many children as possible.
Nashville Mayor Freddie O’Connell is aware of the leak. He vowed to launch an investigation into who leaked the manifesto to Louder With Crowder. The Mayor also did not confirm the authenticity of the manifesto, but the launching of an investigation leads many to believe it is legitimate.
“I have directed Wally Dietz, Metro’s Law Director, to initiate an investigation into how these images could have been released,” he said in a released statement. “That investigation may involve local, state, and federal authorities. I am deeply concerned with the safety, security, and well-being of the Covenant families and all Nashvillians who are grieving.”
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) also had copies of the manifesto but refused to comment on the release of the three pages from the journal. It is unclear exactly what agency originated the leak.
The rest of the pages of the manifesto have not been leaked. Due to ongoing court battles, it is unclear if or when it will be released to the public. The NPA case against the city could take months or years to be resolved. Even though it is unlikely AmmoLand News will be able to obtain the missing pages through an open records request, we filed one anyway.

Perhaps the parents are blocking the release of the manifesto to hide their culpability in creating this monster.
We never know when a person will become unhinged and want to commit mass murder so the best thing we can do is be armed and vigilant at all times . Our lives may depend on being prepared at every event we attend daily in our daily lives .
another example of leo’s deciding what is best for the citizens. who knows what is best for us than us? why not cooperate if you have nothing to hide?
what would be harmed if this was released, except the narrative of the progressives who hate firearms but love deluded people who think they can change their chromosomes?
progressive ideology is a determent to society and has never benefited society.
Her schedule included “final video tape” just before leaving for the school. Given how she stuck to her schedule, I expect she made a video tape discussing what she was about to do. Possible to add that video to FOI Request? Surely cops have it – but I had previously heard absolutely nothing about it.
I still wonder how that would have turned out if the poor principal had been armed when she rushed the killer. Heroic but ineffective attempt to protect children makes her death even more tragic, if that is possible. Of course we don’t know if she managed to delay the nutjob enough to have saved lives – so it may have been partially effective.
If the only job of law enforcement is to take down statistics, then this wacko’s manifesto certainly qualifies.
It’s seems apparent that the parents desire to block unknown secrets may not reflect well on them. Of course stereotyping another people group that’s being coddled by the left doesn’t help their narrative as well. Only unstable people kill complete strangers.
